Probably I'm missing something, but I guess that's another topic. A covenant simply promises that something will happen in the future. A recursive covenant guarantees that the same thing will happen in the futu= re. Thus, non-recursive covenants can be useful. Consider `OP_EVICT`, for example, which is designed for a very specific use= -case, and avoids recursion. Regards, ZmnSCPxj
