The big churn is compartmentalized on the HA side, and then post SLI things can slowly settle out over time with routine bids.

Sad that it might come to that, but is what it is. Although I'm sure the AS group could be bribed with a sufficiently juicy JCBA (no there won't be protections for really junior CA's, aside from hypothetically really good FO pay).
