Yes I know we aren't trying to piss off users. What I am saying is that it
is stupid to the user that it PANICS. I apologize if that came out wrong.
I've experienced PANIC shutdown several times due to WAL full during
development. As a user, one problem with PANIC is that it dumps core. I
think core files should be dumped only when "can't happen" events has
occurred like PostgreSQL's bug. I didn't expect postgres dumps core simply
because disk is full. I want postgres to shutdown with FATAL message in
that exact case.
