Bottom left looks dumb now, but in 15 years when it is still doing heavy lifting as a legacy application with no external support, they'll be happy it was overbuilt.

And that legacy application is actually only using one of those engines and it's to do something completely different and the dev who can explain it retired.

And every time someone removes any of the unused engines, everything falls apart, even things not in any way connected to it.

So we put the engines back, and swear never to speak of it again, at least until we find time to complete a Perl tutorial.
