I assume the implication here is that with more granular swap-outs, you might get more regular maintenance of those minor issues?
While I agree it's a problem and could be improved, I don't find train maintenance any worse than hotel maintenance in general – most hotel rooms aren't in perfect condition and they arguably don't have the same restrictions.
