Decades of experience have told me that <em>"Things will never change"</em> is the catch cry of the damned.
It doesn't matter how much you attempt to advise management otherwise, you find them unmoved.
</p>
<p>
Here's a real world example.
I started a new job and recommened moving from <c>font</c> to CSS;
heard the <em>"Things will never change"</em>;
and was told to stop rocking the boat and suggesting changes they couldn't afford.
A few weeks later, their major sponsor changed their corporate colours.
After a decision to slightly change their corporate colour,
the 70,000 code changes required, versus my singular one CSS change, was a better solution.
