This is typically the problem with silver bullet solutions. You can easily look at the solution that’s been in place for decades and see where it fails, because you have decades of data to look at. You look at your new shiny solution, and you can see that it solves all of those problems. What you can’t see, because you don’t have decades of data to look at, are all the new problems that will come up with the new solution. You’ll notice some of them, and you can try to patch over them, but you’re bound to miss a lot.

Which isn’t to say that you shouldn’t go with the new solution anyway. But I’m always skeptical when all people say is “it solves all the existing problems.”
