@rrwo @whynothugo @rhapsodos @diana @yvonnezlam I don't really see how replacing a crude temporary solution magically doesn't makes it housekeeping.

Specially when "tech debt" is associated to a evolution of things which grinds down the ability to do any work or even have something working, than debt as in "operating at loss" (debt being something fine given enough revenue or capital for it, or even cheat out via bigger picture investments, see things like Über).
