That says why they don't want it to be UB. The question, I believe, was why they want statically-known-infinite non-trivial loops to continue being UB.

One minor nit, it's not halt-on-error, it's restart-on-error since the watchdog then restarts the system. The technical term for this is rejuvenation and it's standard practice in SCADA and similar to deal with this-shouldn't-happen error conditions.

That's more why you would want them to be defined in the first place.
