TIL Chesterton's Fence! Exactly! This concept applies equally well to software engineering.

I've torn down a few fences but only after I asked everyone that could possibly be involved with it why it was there, and did the equivalent of setting up a trail cam where it used to be to make sure nothing unexpected crossed later. One advantage of software is that you can usually put the fence back up in like 5 seconds if you were smart about removing it.
