Really?  That's scary.  What about coax built into a house?  Does that
mean you have to plan on replacing it every decade or two?

I think that we have video coax (cable TV) that is 30-something.  I'm
not sure that it is 100% healthy, but it seems to work.

I know that the technology is obsolete, but I didn't know that it
deteriorated on that timescale.
