I believe you are right and it would certainly not be good if the ASM instance failed, but Oracle might argue that ASM is a cut down Oracle instance so stands less chance of failing;). If I read the RAC stuff correctly you get an ASM instance per RAC node so have reliance against bringing down the DB if you under RAC.
In actual fact we did have ASM bring down our non-RAC Dev DB not so long ago - the SA was testing removing and adding back in disks from a normal redundancy disk group and hit an ASM bug!

Hi List,
Just thinking aloud - when ASM crashes then all instances connected to it crash too.
This can't be good, right ?
