As has been demonstrated in this and many other cases, using hard assertions during development is the best way to guarantee that bugs are found and fixed quickly.

These particular crashes are found and fixed, yes. But how can you be sure that there are no other assert-crashes that are missed by our sketchy developer-testing, get released, and make Inkscape feel crashy and flakey to the users - who therefore may feel disinclined to even report them?
