What do you suggest instead?

  "Software subsidence"? "Digital subsidence"? The problem is that over time, the foundations upon which software is built decay, or need to be replaced...

    I've worked with geologists and geological data and I had to look up "subsidence". I kinda had a feeling for what it meant, but it certainly didn't bring up any salient imagery nor help me understand the concept, which is kinda the point of a metaphor.

      If you want some salient imagery, take a look at the first image on the Wikipedia page for "Subsidence": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidence
