This is an almost universal problem in any endeavor. Everyone loves heros and visionaries, few give any respect to diligent maintainers, so we have a world of shiny, fragile new things on top of crumbling older ones that haven't kept up. Whether its software, infrastructure, equipment or corporate structure or whatever, incentives make it always like this.
