No, as I pointed out, one would expect, based on its past performance, the dark side to come up with disastrous yet simple and effective solutions, and this expectation is another desiderata. Which that solution filled as well.
(A token ‘dispel the Patronuses and make the Dementors eat people’ is at least a gesture in the right direction, for all that I find Harry’s belief he can cripple Aurors like that to be risible—if you yell at a pilot ‘actually it doesn’t run on the Bernouilli effect but spiral vortices’ or whatever, does he immediately panic and fly into the ground? Of course not, years of training and experience make him do the right thing, just like the Aurors’ years/centuries of experience conjuring and maintaining Patronuses would override some weird statement by an odd kid.)
It sounds like a modern thing, such retirements usually have loopholes or exceptions, and Patronus casting would start either in Hogwarts or Auror training; all of which could push Aurors well over the century mark.

I thought mandatory retirement was set at one century?
