You don’t think that’s a problem that most essential open source software is maintained by older people who will retire sooner than later?
Retirement and open source contribution sounds like an excellent combination to me. Give the old men something to do, let the projects be worked on by people who can take their time, make the best use of the expertise. All that sounds great.
