    But of course there can be multiple implementations! For example, there is 
both KafkaReceiver and ReliableKafkaReceiver. The second was introduced so that 
the code path for existing uses is not disturbed when we are introducing 
experimental code paths that are optionally enabled with flags. We never 
envisioned that happening, but when it occur, we could do this because the 
KafkaReceiver was not exposed, only the Receiver interface was exposed.
