Isn't the point of this article that pieces of infrastructure don't go down to root causes, but due to bad combinations of components that are correct individually? After reading "engineering a safer world", I find root cause analysis rather reductionistic, because it wasn't just an unwrap, it was that the payload was larger than normal, because of a query that didn't select by database, because a clickhouse made more databases visible. Hard to say "it was just due to an unwrap" imo. Especially in terms of how to fix an issue going forwards. I think the article lists a lot of good ideas, that aren't just "don't unwrap", like enabling more global kill switches for features, or eliminating the ability for core dumps or other error reports to overwhelm system resources.
