In doing so, I too am trying to prioritize our efforts, not to think of everything, and I don’t want to stop achievable pragmatic undertakings.

Most of us have probably owned a car and made the judgment that growing repair costs and better performance by affordable alternatives make it sensible to get something newer. Unlike cars, which year by year tend to get more expensive, the price of software systems tends to go down while their affordances increase and usability improves. It is a legitimate question to ask why we should consider it pragmatic to tinker out of obsolescence proprietary software developed some time ago by a company specializing in turnkey systems for golf clubs.
