Or that Aphyr can do his best to help us improve what's built on a strong foundation of sound design, has gone through years of thinking and review by the broader Kafka community, and has been through months of testing.

Aphyr has a distinguished track record of breaking things that have gone through "years of thinking and review" and "months of testing". I'll trust his analysis over anyone else.

I write as one of the implementors of exactly once guarantees in Kafka.
