“We need a new system, but it has to function exactly like the old one.”

Including any bugs and craziness.

I've wasted far too much time in my career doing exactly this for federal government customers. My favorite is when someone insists a feature is critical and must be replicated, but when I dig into it I find it *never* actually worked and as such, no one was using it.

I’ve seen several new systems that actually were the old system, with a screen scraper and a web interface slapped on top.
