Another approach of which I vaguely remember discussion, is be
deleting activities instead of data. (Except for Browse, and
Terminal... so you can possibly get them back again!)

There would then be a symptom which they would hopefully notice before
hitting the unbootable state, so they would know what caused it and
hopefully avoid it.
