Some products created by PCB designers won't have a very long lifetime. For example, consumer electronics is one area where product designs are constantly evolving, and many products are considered throwaway. At the other end of the spectrum, you have areas such as aerospace and some industrial systems. These products can be expected to have very long lifetimes and vendors of these products are expected to maintain a repository of design and...
