The trouble is, there are many people in this world who use that phrase to mean "It is broke, but let's not fix it until it stops working, hopefully it will be someone else's problem by then.".
I don't think I've come across that usage. As far as I'm concerned, if it's working it aint broke, and if it is not working it's broke and required fixing. Simples!
You clearly aren't a software developer then! :)
*If* it's functional, but potentially a nightmare to extend going forwards, it's not broken as such, just not optimal. There's a difference. (and what then usually happens is someone needs to extend it, it gets refactored and the world becomes usual again).
