Agreed with Dirkjan.

That being said, yes, being safe in the face of partial failure is one
of the goals of the project. For example, if one subscriber in pub/sub
topology dies, it won't affect other subscribers in any way.
Similarly, if one worker dies in req/rep topology, the requests are
re-routed to a different worker. Etc.
