Engineer: "Why are we collecting this much data?"
PHB: "We might need it someday for analytics, just keep storing it."
* Engineer, PHB leave company *
New Engineer: "Hey does anyone know what this data is being used for?"
New PHB: "No idea, just keep it running. Don't want to break anything."
* New Engineer, new PHB leave company *

New new PHB: "No idea, just keep it running. Don't want to break anything."
