That reminds me of that scene in the series Chernobyl where the main scientist briefs everyone on the cleanup effort and ends with something like "The first battle is won and now begins the long war" with everyone being suitably cold in their response.

I get the same response sometimes when I talk about the long tail of maintenance at work.
