You've either been very lucky or haven't yet noticed some parts of the files are broken. It's easy to make it so the raw image and even the thumbnail isn't broken. It's much harder to make sure all the metadata hasn't been broken. Maybe some day in the future we decide to overhaul the metadata and start showing things like the focus point the camera used and you find out that some of those files don't show that info because of the rewrite.
