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?
