Andy,

About the ICX code name, I will align it to public documentation in next version.
' non-relevant information' about the crash, I'm not sure what's not relevant.

What is ICX (yes, I know, but you are writing this for wider audience)?

Please, try to remove non-relevant information from the crashes.

Not sure if Bjorn require to get rid of "this patch" from commit messages... In any case it's written in documentation.
