Thinking about how we deal with that a 11 year old clothes washer with a bad control board needs to be entirely replaced. The mechanism is likely intact. Even when abandoned by the manufacturer it's just a few relays, or maybe a motor controller.
Can we legislate composability and repairability?

How long? 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? 10 years?! Are you insane? Do you want all the factories to go out of business? Are you trying to bankrupt me? Won't you think of my <del>bank account</del> kids?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
