Personally, I think it should be a little more difficult to get to KDL
by accident ;) I realize the feature is "temporary" currently, but
perhaps it could be made slightly more cumbersome by introducing some
modifier keys into the equation? Perhaps even using the
"Ctrl-Shift-Break" instead?

But, on the brighter side, I recall someone at LinuxWorld asked me how
easy it was to "crash" Haiku and I was able to enthusiastically show
him how easy it was by simply hitting F12!

Somehow, the excitement didn't translate directly though, as he looked
at me with some confusion on his face. Unfortunately at that time
someone else distracted me another question so I didn't get to chat
with him further about Haiku's ease-of-kernel-debugging :(
