They've had ample opportunity to use it in the past with aging 007's (It should be noted that Never Say Never Again made a fleeting effort to do so) but they never bothered, instead pretending that Bond was ageless when he clearly wasn't. However, whilst you can definitely see those few extra years on Craig since he did Casino Royale, he's definitely nowhere near the age he could be to do a justice to a good "aging Bond" angle. I believe that with this reboot, they could've genuinely taken Craig into his maturer years and dealt with it as it came instead of pretending he hadn't aged or replacing him outright. And then once he truly had had enough, just re-cast and move Bond back a couple of years as they usually end up doing anyway.
Not so much a complaint, more just thinking out loud.
