If this was a "BUGS" section in a man-page, the above might be less
scary. In this context, however, I wonder if it makes sense to tone it

On the fetch side, malformed objects will instead be left
unreferenced in the repository. (However, in the future, such
objects may be quarantined for "fetch", as well.)
