My interpretation, for what it's worth, is that the service life is determined by
inspection not to exceed 5 years from manufacturing date and standard of practice is
replacement every two years. Sunlight and service environment affect useful service
life. I further believe that as slack develops to the point where they need to be
re-tightened that this can be done only once but as a matter of practice, new ones are
used.

"[April 15] is the last day for filing income tax returns -- a day
that reminds us that taxpayers pay too much of their earnings to
the Federal Government. ... While April 15 serves as a reminder,
the people of the United States truly do not need to be reminded.
They are victims of inflation, which pushes them into higher tax
brackets. They are robbed daily of a better standard of living.
They are discouraged from work and investment. ... The choice
before us is clear. I strongly feel that the great majority of
Americans believe that nothing would better encourage economic
growth than leaving more money in the hands of the people who earn
it. It's time to stop stripping bare the productive citizens of
America and funneling their hard-earned income into the Federal
bureaucracy."
-- Ronald Reagan
"Didn't the President, with a straight face, promise to reduce the
deficit by half in five years? The Congressional Budget Office
forecasts government spending over the next 10 years will quadruple
the annual deficit of Bush's presidency. The CBO expects the
nation's debt to double in five years and triple in 10. But
according to The Heritage Foundation, Obama's claim of '$2 trillion
in savings over the next decade' is 'simply not true'. His budget
increases spending by $1 trillion over the next decade, which he
attempts to offset by reclassifying as "savings" $1.4 trillion in
tax increases and $1.5 trillion in reduced spending in Iraq.' First
he describes tax increases as 'savings.' Then he falsely projects
spending on the war in Iraq to remain high. By manipulating 'future
spending,' Obama can then 'reduce it' and pronounce it 'savings.'"
