Yes that was indeed my point, allocating infrastructure like Continuum, Buildbot, Jenkins, you name it which is of interested initially for a few week and then people lose interest to maintain it thoroughly. It happened here and it happens at work so I guess it's a common thing. There's a German saying based on a Hermann Hesse poem which describes my observations in this regards I suppose: "Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne...". I guess a "true hero", to explicitly use this term in this context, is someone who feels dedicated and committed even past the days where something was shiny and exciting in the first place but became legacy over the course of time in the worst case ;) Cheers Daniel
