   Ah yes of course it is a property of the `Fn`. I was mistakenly considering 
primarily side effects. And even then, I am wrong since you can call out to 
services in your map fn.
   
   It isn't premature, though. We very quickly saw major performance 
degradation when we automatically broke fusion in Dataflow for all stable 
inputs. The current PTransforms in the Beam SDK are designed in many cases to 
have some projection or trivial transformation in between the checkpoint and 
the `@RequiresStableInput`. I don't know specifically which ones it was, but it 
is common. For example a GBK then dropping keys and then writing to a file.
