Having possibly deadly impact when malfunctioning does not necessarily
have anything to do with being used on lifesaving equipment.

It's not a desktop distro, but may serve as an example for the
principle: TomTom car navigation GPS devices use the linux kernel. If it
malfunctions, the effect can very easily be a deadly accident.

That said, I think the "saving lives" was not meant all that seriously
in the first place, but as a metaphor.
