A lot? I see maybe 3 people hinting they have some experience including you. The rest have been comments along the lines of "yeah, but fix everything"

I highly doubt the reason for the lack of rework is it hasn't been proposed or thought of. I'm not debating the need, they WILL eventually bump up against the limits of this older, complex, garbage system in a very hard way (if not already), but implying they're not aware of this is unnecessary. I bet the guys who work on this daily would give their left eyes to scrap or rebuild some of the systems they have to work with everyday, but their job isn't to set policy. It's to do what the higher ups say with what they're given. Someone who comes in here to say "here's why this was done" doesn't need the response of "your work wasn't wanted or needed, you should have been doing.."
