Probably, but not me.  I personally don't find much use for the watchdog
timer as a watchdog.  The one time I needed a watchdog function in a
safety-critical system, this needed to be performed by separate hardware
that had its own sensor.  This hardware could kill power thru totally
independent means from the main operating processor.
