I should have used the word "exacerbate" instead of "cause".

User error while using vim (I have an awful tendency to nuke entire
lines when switching between input mode vs. navigation mode); last line
should read "Changing kernels/etc. in the middle of troubleshooting a
problem you ask for assistance with makes things very difficult".  (And
I say that knowing that rolling back as a form of testing is good, since
it can help narrow things down to a specific version or release, i.e. a
software problem).
