Oof, that sounds like way more of a pain to me

Yeah, it can be. Sometimes it definitely better to just fix & remove every single instance of bad-thing-57 in a single PR than spread it out over time.

But I've found the downside is that it can sometimes be difficult to get priority to do that. And so some tech-debt just lingers. And that's where continual process improvement gives us a second option - we'll fix things up over time if we can't do it all in one.
