   @wolf480pl @pj @asie One example from his projects is scdoc, but effectively most "do one thing and do it well" programs should end up in "maintenance mode" pretty fast.

     @pj @asie
     there are projects which are getting only several commits a year, and yet they're working fine. They've decided on a scope, implemented all the features that fit in it, rejected any features outside of it, and now only need a bugfix every now and then.

     This is what Drew DeVault calls "maintenance mode", and IIRC he has a few projects that reached that stage, though don't remember off the top of my head which ones.
