one should be aware that if it works, and it’s against the intention of the rules, the rules are likely to be changed to prevent it.
Yea, just look how fast tax loopholes have been disappearing in the US, it’s only been decades and already they are on the agenda again, sometimes. Although you could argue they are d’accord with the intent of the rules, since those exceptions weren’t written into the tax code by accident …
But even if and when changes to the rules occur, the time lag while the activity is legal is often enough to reap significant benefits anyways, or to accomplish your purposes. Especially when state actors are concerned.

One man’s loophole is another man’s legitimate exemption.
