Agreed. IMO anything that's objectively the wrong implementation for any lifespan of the regulated thing should not get grandfathered. If it's like, "this type of concrete only lasts 10 years" then the regulation should say that anything built < idk 8 years ago is fine so long as everybody is notified. But if regulators found that doubling hydrant frequency would help then it just should've been done.
