I initiated a discussion back in 2015 [1] about fragility of Emacs in

another example would be `recentf-cleanup' which is in my case
triggered
on Emacs start up, when the file comes from stale NFS, the
corresponding
`file-readable-p' down the stack will hang indefinitely, and there
would
be no way to unfreeze it apart from issuing 'kill -9' to that Emacs
instance. Don't you people find it unacceptable for the daily usage?
How is that a bug in Emacs if you have stale NFS mounts?
