The best way I learned to deal with technical debt is to package it into securitized collateral debt obligations and find a product manager who can structure them into traunches and then find a QA manager who can rate these traunches and set up a regulatory framework with in which project managers can provide liquidity necessary to deal with it. If that does not work try to find an executive who can issue an Asset backed commercial paper that developers love. Now at this point the debt is handled so well it no longer is an issue.
