Indeed, that's what #769464 says. If the text would be:
The combination of "Alt-SysRq s", "Alt-SysRq u", and "Alt-SysRq b" is good for
getting out of really bad situations without hard resetting the system.
it would make some sense. I vaguely remember the linux kernel recently changed
meaning of these alt-sysrq-keys; perhaps that's related too.

ACK.
I don't know what would be the best solution here.
Baptiste: thanks for bringing up this issue!
