#### Use Cases with Early Exit Code { #use-cases-with-early-exit-code }

There are some use cases with specific conditions that could benefit from the old behavior of running the exit code of dependencies with `yield` before sending the response.

* **Inconsistent API surface**: Public APIs with mixed spelling conventions appear less professional and polished
* **Harder for non-native speakers**: Contributors and users for whom English is a second language benefit from a single, consistent convention

While both American and British English are valid, establishing a single standard improves consistency, readability, and maintainability of the codebase.
