It's the existing wording, though, and unrelated to the changes the
patch is trying to make. It also seems accurate to me.

I don't like it. It seems to me that it will result in a lot of
duplication in the docs, because every time we talk about something
that happens in connection with a crash, we'll need to talk about this
same list of exceptions. It would be reasonable to document which
conditions trigger a crash-and-restart cycle and which do not in some
centralized place, but not in every place where we mention crashing.
