thats right. That's how Jörg understands and "unnecessary" panic, since a broken 
message does not mean an broken internal operational state.

IMO, we should throw panics if we're unable to carry on with stable operation, 
otherwise dump error, discard whatever could not be done, and continue operation.

Hence +1 on autiting panics for recoverable states.
