It's probably not possible to fully prevent people from thinking about time at all, but the more friction you can add, the better.

Research is subject to constraints of money, time, and resources, but is not normally estimated in the sense that software industry people would use the term.

If you're going to "refresh" a codebase you probably want it to be on the current version of things. Old dependencies rot, like it or not. I don't think there's any timeframe for Scala 2 EOL yet, but new development
