Strongly seconded. I suppose nothing is ever really *guaranteed* about
post-crash state, so this is merely a QoI, but an important one.

(Memories of the Algol 68 standard, I think it was, going to some lengths
to define the behaviour of the system under unspecified circumstances in
which the power was cut, which were meant to include things like
earthquakes.)
