Some things still need to be checked on a global level:

  • ❌ Includes that are not installed on every OS
  • ❌ Classes that already reserve ivars need to be considered to be changed to restricted subclassing
  • ❌ All classes either restrict subclassing or reserve ivars
  • ❌ All exception throws need to be audited (they're part of the API, too!)
  • ❌ OFSerialization is up for consideration to be removed
