I don't recall anyone making such a statement. For what it's worth, I agree with
you that Emacs's current approach can result in hangs and crashes and in theory
even worse behavior, and that it'd be nice to clean this up. We disagree about
how likely these disasters are in practice, and therefore how high a priority it
is to fix this, and whether we should remove otherwise-useful features in order
to avert the disasters.
