It turns out that in a large codebase this is extremely hard to do. Underestimating the difficulty of that task (or a structurally equivalent one) is remarkably common. I don't know if it's because devs all think we know better than our neighbor or because we don't accurately gauge the cost of adding new features. In any case, it's depressing.
