------------------------------------

bq. Creating corrupt index is NOT A USE CASE

Depends :). If the corrupt index is a result of using DirectPF Codec, or using 
payloads etc., then it is a use case. If the corrupt index is a result of 
adding one field with one word, untokenized and all, then that's a more serious 
corruption, and how we handle/inform it should be discussed.

At any rate, I've seen apps preventing to run on old JVMs, but not future, 
potentially buggy, JVMs. What if we'll detect a corruption related to a certain 
Linux kernel version - would we prevent Lucene from running there too?
