Reminds me a bit of how in the UK the guinea coin ceased to circulate decades ago but it's still used for bidding on racehorse auctions.

1 guinea = 1.05 pounds

You purchase the horse in guineas, seller gets paid in pounds, auctioneer keeps the missing 5% as commission.

'Universal' 110V AC sockets are definitely feasible and offered by some airlines (on some equipment).

E.g ANA: https://www.ana.co.jp/en/jp/guide/inflight/service/seat_plug...

It's more likely that the flight in question was using the three letter ICAO code in its passenger facing flight number. I have never known a three character IATA code to be used despite it technically being within the specification.

I found that partitioning the table to allow parallel auto vacuuming was necessary to scale.

Definitely doable with HAProxy + lua. I've used it extensively for load balancing stateful apps.
