I don't understand what you're saying. Clearly both types of meetings (one-off vs recurring) would be helpful. The one-off may save you days/weeks of research, but it seems like you're not satisfied with that unless you can answer every single minor question you might have across the entire codebase.

I'm saying that if you're maintaining a code base for years, a single day's explanations won't do much of anything. It's a drop in the bucket.

It's not a bad thing, and it's certainly good to do, but it's not a solution to the problem.

If your granularity for a task is measured in years then you have a much different and harder problem.

Effectively everything becomes a "drop in the bucket".
