But it's a strange thing to want to do.  A bit like asking for the
Ford Model T gear shift in a modern car.

Choices have been made by those who had the right influence (you may
want to call it power) and some of those choices were known to be
wrong at the time or were discovered to be wrong subsequently - we
call this history.  The best we can do now is to make sure that when
new choices present themselves (which is all the time, of course) the
decision making is closer to the needs of those who have to live with
them.  The rest is known familiarly as politics.
