But it's obvious we're not in an ideal world. So violation/bugs happens. More than that, it's not possible to check every single script, especially when you have lots of people (in-house) writing those. And it's fine when we talk about simple service like ssh, but it's obviously can lead to data corruption when it's about services like databases and so on.
