If Andrei's conclusions are correct, then they are correct even for
- the compilers under which an OS is compiled and
- the hardware on which the OS runs.

I.e. if there is a "you loose" for the application programmer then there is  
a "you loose" for the OS programmer and the engineer of the hardware too.

Does anyone except Andrei see what this means?
