Boyscouting works because you don’t need to get permission to fix tech debt when it is bundled with something else. 98% of those tickets you file to fix warts will never be addressed because the business demands that time is spent on features that make money.

Isn't the point of OP of this thread that most of those wart-fixes are pointless?

I tend to agree, if you can't sell it as a ticket you probably shouldn't work on it. And "boyscout" PRs are pain to review.
