I've never been near decommissioning former bomb factories, but I make the
argument that building code for satellites *is* such a domain were it not
for the organizational hurdles involved in agreeing on the requirements and
the long procurement and testing pipeline for the hardware.  It's
interesting to speculate that, were NASA to implement and trust more agile
processes (not "smaller, faster, cheaper" which was just used as a mantra to
cut corners), then the organizational hurdles could be much smaller and the
whole process more agile and less "predefined".  This is what I meant in my
previous message.

I will agree with you that, in practice, it's not going to happen that way
in the near future.
