Replacement Without Release Index Note

The successor was built to replace,
Every error the old system faced.
But to keep it online,
We preserved the design,
And the errors were carefully placed.

A redundant and tiny array,
Has been flagged for a full-scale delay.
Though it functionally rests,
It has failed all our tests,
So the index is locked for the day.

The old logic was merely a patch,
For a query the server could catch.
Now the archivists pray,
To the data decay,
And believe it’s a permanent batch.

The replacement without a release,
Has been logged as a structural piece.
It depends on the flaw,
Of the previous law,
And the filing procedures will cease.
