Technically there's a possibility that it'll rain for a week solid in Wales and your house will be washed away. Presumably you don't have a wall of sandbags permenantly in place to guard against this? Of course, there are no guarantees it won't happen, but presumably you'd still appreciate a bit of help if it did. We could attempt to anticipate every potential possibility allowed under every standard implemented by the kernel, and then code around them. But then we'd spend all our time writing code that didn't actually do anything for the users, instead of making stuff work.
