Don't forget that changing out algorithms is a time-consuming process. It's not a 10 second fix, it's a technical challenge and a bureaucratic nightmare. I mean, it takes a week's worth of meetings to restock the condiments in the mess hall in some of these places. So you wind up in a situation where it takes a year or more to implement this stuff once you have the ideal solution selected, and selecting the replacement solution takes another year or more. So even if it's not projected to be an issue for 5 years, you have to start the replacement process right away.
