Hmm, I don' t like very much the fact that 2.2 will have no one probability to survive at the jiffies wrap but sure it' s better that it dies than what it does in 2.0 (there could be something screwed up). In 2.2 we could eventually do something like this:
if (!++jiffies) panic("You get here because Linux is COOL!");
