Indeed. Sometimes users just want to be users. If it crashed it's already too
late to do something about it, so why bother the user anyway, if the user
doesn't want to. Maybe some day she/he will want to contribute, but probably
not during shutdown when they have other things to do.

At work, I have a fully updated kubuntu, and plasma still crashes sometimes on
shutdown. Is it plasma? Is it a plasmoid? Is it a driver? I don't care. The
only way it affects me is that I have to watch the shutdown to see that it
completes successfully. I wish I didn't have to.
