In the words of one John McEnroe, you can't be serious? Personally I would never fit any component that I knew I'd have to change in a few years time. Given the amount of sets old and new that I have it's bad enough trying to keep up with 'normal failures' and 'get-around-tuit' restorations without fitting components that I know are unreliable and likely to fail.
