Absolutely not. A system should panic when it is so confused that attempting to write cached data may cause further damage. Imagine a system with external disks and you bump your knee into a power button, turning off the disk. All you need to do is power the drive back on. And yes, that really happened to me and I was grateful that the HP-UX system did not panic.
