Well, there is an errata branch for RELENG_6_0, but generally errata branches are used for higher profile/severity issues. While having users be able to trigger panics locally is bad, bugs of this sort are fixed frequently, and we tend to reserve errata notices for things that are immediately affecting wide audiences, or correct critical problems with key features.
