I'd maybe remove the "always true" in the description here, since that
might create wrong assumptions with regards to future versions or lead
to bad code in the upper layers. If someone reads "always true", they
simply might omit the check of the value of this property. If we then
ever want to change it to "false" again, we're in trouble (sure, we
could simply completely remove the property again, but we have to
remember to do that instead of setting it to false ... so let's better
play safe right now already, ok?)
