Think for a bit - what other actions can reasonably be taken? You hit a GPF, it's obvious that the variables you're working on have been corrupted, so automatically continuing is probably a Really Bad Idea. If there's a debugger involved (gdb/kgdb), you can hand it to the (presumed) person running the debugger and let *them* figure out what to do, but that's about the only other realistic option.
