  As wild as it sounds, it has happened.  Even to me, once, but
thankfully on a system that didn't matter.  It was long enough ago that
it wasn't even in the kernel, but some user mode nfts tools that I don't
remember much about.  But I bring it up only to give an example of a
situation where 'read-only' wasn't entirely 'read-only'.
