I think it was doomed to fail as soon as people argued that an organization with an ~$80m annual budget had too many "resource constraints" to address a backlog of bugs in its core product. That happened in the first five or so replies to the thread!

It is a strange discussion, especially as it is now about how some technical debts are not _real_ technical debts. You have some code, and you change that code, and breakage emerge both now and for future projects. That creates a technical debt. Some of it has a more pronounced short time effect (user observed bugs), and some of has a more long term effect (it blocks progress). At some point you must fix all of them.

I don't think this will be solved, so "move on" seems like an obvious choice.
