Long term systems evolution and management might be a better way to think about it. Lehman at Imperial looked into it in the 90's (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220902836_On_Eviden...) but no one has done much since, and yet we are increasingly dependent on platforms and 20+ year systems.

No one knows how to run and manage these systems, yet we do it all the time!
