The phrase "soldier in white" is coming to have increasing relevance in information processing. It is being used to describe computers and even whole systems whose purpose has ended - but live on in the bureacracy they once served. This happens typically because none of the staff currently tending the environment are sure what the system did - and so let it run and even maintain it for fear of breaking something else.
