showing that ios won't crash is very difficult because the number
of versions of ios, and the amazing dependencies of things on which
blade is in which slot and what phase is the moon.

but reading the roma gang's papers and the main email note leads me
to feel they have done as good a job on this as we can reasonably
expect.

considering that we have fellow isps dumping horrifying garbage in
the rib, it's amusing how we attack a seemingly well-run very small
experiment.
