I suppose such feedback could be used for reaching a fixpoint. Suppose you have a build system that reads targets to be built from stdin and outputs to stdout targets that are dependent on that target and must now be rebuilt. With an ouroboros, the build system will continue to run, even if the dependency graph is dynamically cyclical, until the fixpoint is reached and the build terminates.
