What I mean is that executing a software artifact from, lets say, a month ago, just to get month-old business logic, is extremely dangerous because of non-business-logic elements. Maybe it uses the old DB connection string, or a library with a CVE. Its a 'hack' to address old code versions in order to get the business logic that a request originally executed on - a hack that I feel should be used for minutes, not eve hours.
