I think we all know he meant frozen X VS a crash loop, pedant. :)

Just because upstream changed the DontZap default doesn't mean Fedora won't
patch it back to working how just about everyone *wants* it to work. In
fact, I'd bet on it, because it would reflect poorly on Fedora if they
*didn't* patch it. Keeping ctrl-alt-backspace around provides way more
benefit to Fedora's main audience than it does in protecting the rare
desktop user from accidentally discovering this killer keycombo.
