It happens that way in some places but not everywhere. I believe someone 
earlier mentioned how this whole discussion is security theater - some 
companies know this to be true and have fiscal policies that reflect that.

I have direct experience working for a large organization where 3-5 years was 
more a guideline than a rule. Please be aware of that, is all I am asking here. 
7 years is common and some assets I saw in use for well over 10. Hardware 
security is a factor but by no means the overriding one.

Thanks,
