OK, graceful degradation is nice. But it's hard to tell whether overcommit helps or hurts.
Even car designers have this problem: some modern cars will refuse to start if the engine is getting into a state where there is a chance of permanent damage. If it's approaching zero oil pressure, I think I would rather have an electronic cutout than an engine seizure.
