Rigger who will pack a 20 year old chute?

Anybody else notice that the supposed 20 year life limit starts at the date of "component manufacture" in the quote below - which is not likely near the actual date of the parachute manufacture. So if Para-Phenalia purchased a 2 year inventory of nylon cordage from a supplier who had a 3 year old back inventory - your chute life span is 15 years - not 20. This is all hog wash, I think.

1.4 SERVICE LIFE
Independent testing of aged nylon materials has proven that its strength degrades over time, therefore, Para-Phernalia, Inc. and Free Flight Enterprises have established a 20-year service life from the date of component manufacture for the Softie Pilot Emergency System and the Preserve
line of emergency parachutes

ROY (who thinks there is nothing wrong in helping "young eaglets" also become sophisticated aviation consumers).

Imagine one of the European sailplane companies decided innovation was too expensive and reselling what they already make is the way forward and started lobbying EASA and the FAA that all their gliders over 20 years old were unsafe and should be grounded? Throw in some scare stories from mechanics that don't want to work on older gliders. Cause that is exactly what Allen and some of the parachute manufacturers have done. When your product hasn't changed in 50 years best thing you can do is get the gov't to ban and/or industry associations to denounce the old stuff.
