Civil aviation aircraft still fly 1930's engine designs in 1950's airframes, and the costs are prohibitive. Sure sounds like a great model for software... For example, a typical ~200HP aviation engine costs on the order of $30,000 and has no modern engine management systems. This article makes a false comparison. When software is part of safety, such as in aircraft, it gets the same level of scrutiny.
