It can be tricky to make a change in a file that is considered to be rotten. Especially for high priority tickets. Yes, we want to clear all of this code up. But you have to be very careful not to punish people for trying.

I had to tell one guy to knock it off because I was the only person brave enough to touch certain files and he was quickly making me regret trying by marking blocking comments on things I already planned to address in the subsequent or following PR. But I have to keep the old and new stuff working at the same time, boyo, so tap the brakes.
