Electronics sometimes work that way. You might have 5 or 6 extra input ports and just swap inputs around if something breaks. If enough break to drop the system below acceptable performance you replace a much bigger section all at once. This is not really the same as what Florence and Niomi are doing. I'm not even sure what a packing leak is.
