Hi, please glance at https://dev.launchpad.net/PolicyAndProcess/MaintenanceCosts

The basic idea is that we are where we are today because we didn't at
any point put a cap on the overheads involved in maintaining
Launchpad. The ratio of developer time that goes into maintenance vs
delivering new functionality is quite high, and if it continues to
grow we may never climb out of the technical-debt hole that we have.
