I prefer that things be made better.

And indeed things could always be [done] better. But always consider that there is a cost to improvements; i.e. there is something commonly referred to as "the law of diminishing returns" which applies. FWiW the "IPL to recover" was only for the SWA of object(s) that were under the failing SWA. Circumventions of saving without SWA or to effect delete+restore of the object(s), were both available options to postpone an IPL indefinitely.

I could give lots of
analogies but we'd really start getting off topic fast.

"but...", so true. I would give consideration from the perspective of the OS and the associated costs to provide alternatives, whereas your perspective would surely represent a /user/ of the system, presenting idealistic views of what is desirable. While I consider myself better than many [OS programmers] at understanding the view of various types of users of the OS, I will likely never sanction any /theory of panacea/ with regard to various failure recovery within an OS.
