What responsibility does the Linux bear if you write your own kernel module, install it, and it bricks your machine until you boot into a different OS?
There are limits to the sensible responsibility of the operating system vendor / maintainer. They stopped somewhere south of "mutating core configuration of the OS itself," because if they don't, the owner doesn't control their own computer.
