Wow, look at those goalposts go! If you make enough exceptions to allow incremental change, then "immutable" gets watered down to total meaninglessness. That's not an interesting conversation. This conversation is about configuration management, which is still needed in a "weakly immutable" world.

Again, could you please point me at notable advocates of immutable infrastructure proposing the approach you take such exception to? And note that I'm not proposing any exceptions.
