Nobody has lost their bitcoin due to an issue - that's the kind of thing I was thinking of.

Time will tell if the issues and trust damage we fear has already occurred and is just festering... this is only a conversation because trust has already somewhat degraded. 

There was a market overhang from the bcash war, we may be in another.

The compromises made because of Core politics are likely to get worse not better https://stacker.news/items/1232619/r/justin_shocknet?commentId=1232861

I can see your point about isolating impact, but I think what we'd ideally like is no issues. Even isolated issues would damage people's trust in bitcoin, especially if they lost money.
