Thats why I said this
>> I understand these are problems will face today, but I think we can fix that with some immutability.
Just because developers havent messed on the platform yet, they do all the time on github and others it drives me nuts. Ubuntu for example, only offers links publicly to their latest images which will have a different checksum despite the same dl link every weekly. We have hardware/stability issues and ended up keeping our own store of iso images (which is generally recommended) because they change the image url.

Sure, but you're ignoring the rightful and practical use of replacing releases. Having immutable releases introduces complexity, so there are tradeoffs. Since by far most cases are "I made a mistake and need to patch this" I'm good with that.
In your specific Ubuntu example, you could 100% keep immutable 3063 events, so I don't see how this spec prevents you from doing that
