Unfortunately, reality is messier than this. For example, Please currently has escape hatches that can be used that nullify these guarantees. What I have found is that if such a mechanism exists it will eventually be abused.

My perspective here is specifically from that of a maintainer of large builds where the code base is always under active development. Murphy's law becomes your enemy at scale.

This is not a criticism of Please - just an observation that as an industry we are not there yet. But, I'm happy to see things moving in the right direction.
