@nikatjef I'm not sure I like this analogy because that's more akin to "maintenance" rather than "debt". In particular debt is normally explicitly entered into by the debtor but you don't ask for maintenance.
Of course should one explicitly choose to defer that maintenance then it could become debt, but there are a lot of things in the world that are old and are just never edited again, and the existence of other things becoming newer around those things doesn't magically make them have debt.

@malwareminigun @nikatjef Software is "finished" the same way a lawn is "mowed." Upkeep is not optional.
