    I thought it was due to one of the articles that I remember reading some time, which stated :

    • the lack of documentation due to a rushed project
    • most people who worked on it being now retired or perished

    … causing the lost technology, meaning that some specific techniques/solutions/rule of thumbs that might have been used at the time, might have been forgotten, making newer projects, unable to use that as a base.
