-1 on die-ing. There's no precedent for that in any of SA's existing behavior, even under the most severe config errors. This is largely done because it could screw over someones mail queue following an upgrade. And in this case, even if they read the logs, or ran a --lint, they wouldn't know anything other than "it's slow" and maybe "it eats memory like a hog". At least this way we can reach the ones that actually check the basics.
