 I'm still not seeing where this would be a problem except in very edge
 cases.

 > Yes, the argument "it's been this way for a long time, so let's not
 change it" does come up sometimes and it is itself a reasonable reaction,
 given the lack of unit tests. If you're not confident that nothing breaks,
 you're going to be afraid of making changes.

 Agreed that is it a consideration, and depending on the nature of the
 change it can be an overriding concern. Moving to an MVC model, for
 example would be a non-starter. But I too often see inertia being given as
 the reason not to do something when it appears there are not other reasons
 where there may otherwise be good reasons to consider the improvement.
