Thank you so much for your insights! Much appreciated!
Some packages haven’t been changed in 10 years, some are changed daily. It’s bleeding edge everything, and things don’t actually break that much. Lisp makes for (obviously IMO) beautiful, simple code, so most packages are a pleasure to fix, extend, or automate.
I want to have a better idea for much time is spend on ‘management’; fix, extend and/or automate etc.
