I think this should be true for many things, or at least have a fixed future date at which you re-evaluate $thing
For example with Architecture Decision Records, put a 6 or 12 month expiry on them and evaluate to see if they can be renewed, should be changed or replaced with something that covers new insights.
Unfortunately that seems a very unpopular thing to do so I’ve never seen it work and companies end up with “we have always done it like this” type practices
Isn't that a big part of the issues the US has with passing a budget? Some of their tax breaks etc. have expiry dates so keep needing to be renewed. I think part of the current shutdown is related to the debate about renewing the obamacare tax breaks which have/are due to expire

If you have the time to evaluate your metrics on a case by case basis every 18 months, you aren't collecting enough metrics
I wish laws had expiry dates. For 100 years. Inertia seems to be the most powerful force

i think it's more they just tack on a bunch of unrelated stuff into bills that "must" be passed
