In those scenarios, as is the case with @Stable, developers have to be aware of and honor the respective contract. It could be argued that bugs arising from contract violations of @Stable are easier to catch, due to their persistent nature.

Right and also VarHandle and AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater, which let you weaken the effect of a write, such that stale reads on the reading side may occur.
