I was also going to mention that Nev but didn’t want to ramble on.

Like a car manufacturer using a 1960s design for a new vehicle, and not even going down the retro pathway. Putting systems in place to allow for 1960s design standards 50 years later isn’t smart engineering. Might be ok for a light aircraft manufacturer, however certainly not for a modern day airliner.
