One of the silly aspects of the three-year cycle is that by the time
most jurisdictions have adopted the later code, it's time for a NEW
version to come out. Lots of "churn" to no real end.
It made sense ten years ago or so, when design standards were undergoing
cataclysmic changes. But so much of that has settled down now that it
makes no sense to keep up the accelerated pace.
