The cynical take is that said maintainer doesn't really 'maintain', but rather 'lets rot'.
The optimistic take (and what I prefer to believe) is that if a project works, and solves the problem the maintainer wants it to solve, it doesn't need to be changed unless/until it breaks.
- lostapathy 5y agoI agree with your optimistic take here. A lot of people are reading the “200 projects” and assuming they are all big projects. On the contrary, a lot of your projects seem to keep a very narrow focus that allows them to get to a state of “done for now” even is nothing is truly ever finished due to upstream and downstream changes around the project.
