I don't think it's important, certainly not extremely important.  You
can hang Emacs with as little as '(while t)'.  Users who do
unreasonable things should expect trouble, because Emacs gives them a
lot of rope to hang themselves.

Of course, if someone comes up with a patch to prevent infinite
redisplay cycles in this case, such a patch will be welcome.
