Currently, some assertions seem to be used as a way to report unlikely events, and when these are used in production, they can cause needless crashes (even though they're then handled by systemd's `Restart=on-abnormal` facility) I propose the following changes: - The code should not rely on assertions, if it does, it's a bug that should be fixed. - Errors, even unlikely ones (currently handled by assertions) should be logged properly. - ~~There could be an option (off by default) to enable reporting these remotely.~~
