The reason to even think about this is last year's paper by Frampton and Hung (discussion), which proposes that the Higgs mass might be 126 GeV "because" the timescales for vacuum decay and for instanton-induced proton decay are the same. ... But one way for it to work, would be if proton decay caused vacuum decay.
