One of the bragging points of BPF was "but it always returns a value!", and that's why it's apparently better than WASM.

With the addition of exceptions, this guarantee is lost.

Not that it mattered either way in practice, but still. BPF is now just adding features without even considering their impact on the overall BPF model.
