I'd argue that EDTF is just as useful as vi. Better than SEU since it
doesn't encourage the use of obsolete code by flagging newer code as in
error.

But do you think that things/discussions like this are what give our

system

the reputation for being a 'legacy platform' , ' an outdated technology
from the 1980s that somehow still exists'.
Do you know of any one working on this platform that is not approaching
retirement?
I got those quotes from AI.

I don't see why they just can't leave it there and just not support it.

Maybe get an older machine with an older release for such cases?
