I don’t know. Its easier (ie cheaper) to write a quick script and fix it when it breaks than it is to try and anticipate what unknown unknowns might crop up over the next two years.Absolutely, think through the edge cases, but there’s little point in trying to anticipate things you really don’t know about and if it was a quick script to write, it’ll be quick to write a new one that works in the new situation (and if not, well, you have more information now to implement a better solution than you did at the start).
It depends on how critical the task is. Can you detect an error occurred that you now need to fix? Can you tolerate the lag between error and fix? etc
