Sloppy paraphrasing on my part; sorry. I couldn't remember the exact wording or who said it and didn't take the time to attempt a Web search for it. With your hint (author's name):

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
The ones who do remember? Using the word "condemned" seems to imply that it's necessarily a bad thing to repeat what worked in the past, which I don't think is always true, though sometimes it is.
To relate this marginally to the nominal subject area of a.f.c. and attempt to be less vague and general:
The author of a well-known textbook on operating systems (Andrew Tanenbaum) talks at several points in one book (Modern Operating Systems) about how changing technology can cause the same idea to be regarded as a good idea early on, a bad idea later, and then still later re-emerge as a good idea. (A specific example Good idea in early systems. Bad idea in later systems. Good idea again for read-only media.)
"Not interesting" in the sense that it seems kind of obvious and uncontroversial, though no less valid for that (IMO).
I'm not sure about this, but there may be a strict upper bound in a.f.c. on the ratio of vague generalities to interesting technical facts, and if so I'm exceeding it here and should stop.
