titled "Software Maintenance is a Solution, not a Problem" in the Jan
'89 issue of System Development.  He stated that the goal of maintenance
should be to maximize efficiency rather than minimize cost, and to do
that, the best people should be attracted to and placed in maintenance
positions.  It doesn't always happen that way.  I work for a software
maintenance group, and the new hires are the ones that get put in there;
the experienced people move on to more "interesting" ventures.  It's
nice to say "Put the best people in", but until it happens in industry,
it's no more than lip service.
