Good morning Jorge,

A covenant simply promises that something will happen in the future.

A recursive covenant guarantees that the same thing will happen in the future.

Thus, non-recursive covenants can be useful.

Consider `OP_EVICT`, for example, which is designed for a very specific 
use-case, and avoids recursion.
