Good morning Jorge,
> I fail to understand why non recursive covenants are called covenants at all. Probably I'm missing something, but I guess that's another topic.
A covenant simply promises that something will happen in the future.
A recursive covenant guarantees that the same thing will happen in the future.
Thus, non-recursive covenants can be useful.
Consider `OP_EVICT`, for example, which is designed for a very specific use-case, and avoids recursion.
Regards,
