I don't know either but it was quoted to me earlier as the primary
reason 4k stacks were introduced.
So you're saying that only advanced users who understand all their
CONFIG options should have the safe settings? And everyone else
the "only explodes once a week" mode?
For me that is exactly the wrong way around.
If someone is sure they know what they're doing they can set whatever
crazy settings they want (given there is a quick way to check
for the crazy settings in oops reports so that I can ignore those), but
the default should be always safe and optimized for reliability.
