That would a persuasive argument against, say, devoting next Sunday between 1500 and 2100 to such scut work when you perhaps have more important or urgent things to do. After 10 years, though, it should have been done by someone.
R S is right. Constantly accumulating detritus of this sort 1) makes the mainframe look bad, 2) provokes repeated discussions of this sort, 3) impairs performance marginally on a case-by-case basis but cumulatively, and 4) is ugly. Again, John, I mean nothing personal by this. It is clear that you do what you can in a hostile environment, and no one can reasonably accuse you of sloth. Arguments of this sort are, however, too facile.
