The only reason it was developed in the first place was the requirement in the "Clean Air Act" of 1968 that emissions-related systems including ignition had to run 50K miles without being maintained or serviced. One of the dumbest requirements ever imposed on the automotive industry!
You have made this comment a number of times in the past and I am always curious. Why is mandating that something actually work for a reasonable amount of time a bad thing?
