Should --kiosk mode auto-reload crashed tabs?

Project Member Reported by primiano@chromium.org, Jun 13 2016

Issue description

Not really a bug, more a general feature suggestion. We're seeing more and more cases where chrome is used in --kiosk mode in public areas (Stations, offices, squares), which is good.
In lot of cases the kiosk shows a "aw snap" or "it's dead jim" page, which is bad.
This is because the probability of hitting a crash or OOM on a tab which is left opened for ~days is very high.
Now, there is nothing special about kiosk here: Crashes happen and very likely will always happen. Nothing special we can do other than improving chrome stability.

So the proposal here is: should kiosk mode auto-reload crashed tabs (maybe with some throttling) to avoid epic-fails in public? I can't think to many cases where you want to see a sad tab page on a kiosk. Feels like we are becoming the the 21st century BSOD.
