This is very true.  I'm trying to shake free from something similar
(though not quite as phrased here) myself.

Perhaps.  But too often I've had something in live use break and been
able to go to a spare that's been sitting idle for two, three, five
years and be back up almost immediately.  I see some of my live
machines as becoming harder and harder to find spares for, so I've been
picking up spares against the days when they are made of unobtanium -
spares I am unlikely to use within a year, some of which I am unlikely
to use within five years, but which I judge worth the space to keep
against the trouble-savings having them could bring.  (Much like any
disaster insurance, actually.)

There's that.  If I've got plenty of spares of something, or if it's
something I could get along comfortably without with minimal work, and
someone has a reasonably pressing need for it, I'll often give it away.
(I'm not entirely comfortable yet with doing this, but I make myself do
it anyway; knowing it's going to be used and appreciated makes it a lot
easier.  And "practice makes perfect"; the more I do this the less
difficult I find it.)
