Contagion is why I want a VCS tool that allows me to keep code review comments with the code. Just because someone senior did something bad two years ago doesn’t mean you have carte Blanche to make new code that behaves the same way!

If I need to have the author explain something in the codebase as part of a PR, I usually make them write it down as a proper comment.
