the problem is: most routers are "in production" and not "serial
attached" - so you have really a problem if a node ("rooftop" or "solar
powered") dies during boot. if you are a developer, you can simple build
your own image and disable this option, all other persons (>90%?) like to
have a running/selfrebooting router when the kernel is panic'ing or there
are serious problems.
with "gets annoying quite fast" i think you mean: during
developing/playing you cannot see the crash-dump, because the unit
is rebooting too fast? then we can simple use the kernel-commandline
argument "panic=30" which leaves 30 seconds before a reboot is
enforced.
also: reading the crashdump after reboot is possible since r32787:
