What is a word or expression for a problem has effectively gone away because of a larger change that makes the problem no longer a problem?
I'm thinking "obviated" or "made unnecessary," but it sounds awkward to me.
For example: The problem of the dripping faucet I meant to fix was "obviated" by doing a gut renovation (with all new plumbing) of the whole bathroom.
Or: My need to find a ride to the airport was "obviated" by my getting sick and cancelling the whole trip.
Or: I'm not fixing a typo in a certain draft of a document, as it was made unnecessary by having wrote a new draft of the document from scratch.
