No.  But thinking if it supports such new use cases in the future
before committing to the new code structure is soemthing you would
want to make a habit of doing.

I personally think the new "do your thing just as usual, but then
the new code cleans up afterwards" structure better supports
anything new we will throw at in the future.

Thanks.
