You are right: managing a server is hard work. Thankless moderation mostly. But that is even more reason to take away the additional work of keeping a large and convoluted rails-codebase up-to-date, running and performing. Also, part of why moderation is such a giant task, is that in the fediverse, servers (instances) tend to be big. Huge even. It's far easier to manage a server that hosts your ten friends, or the 30 members of your alumni-club, or the 42 members at the local hackerspace than a server with 2000+ random users. Another reason why lowering the barrier to the technical part of managing a server must be lowered.
