That's the part I don't understand.
The new code didn't fix any real problem. It's only been running for a few
months. We have many years on the old code.
The new code opens the door for the sort of problems you generally try to
avoid. Things will be different on different environments so obscure bugs
can linger until somebody trips over them. It might introduce significant
sloth, again, depends on the environment. No sloth on one system doesn't
mean it will be OK on another.
