Please do not top-post.  First provide the quoted context, then provide
your response afterwards, rather than the other way around.

The point I was trying to make is that all code paths that operate
on this list have to follow this rule, if there is a code path that
is not then that is your bug and that is where the fix belongs.

We're unexpectedly having double deletes occur on this list, I would
prefer if we don't paper over it by allowing it to silently succeed.
