This is the first time this line caught me. Aethyta, as a Matriarch, was out there trying to get her people and others off their asses to build new relays.
This suggests to me that she also most likely suggested perhaps exploring alternative technology and new ways of thinking. Expanding beyond the "Prothean" technology they all took for granted. She was thinking ahead and worrying about putting all your eggs in one basket.
That's fascinating actually
