How do any of these "considerations" differ between an exit and the key
applications the business depends on and without which they wouldn't
need a computer system at all (or even be in business)?

Exits are a good alternative when:  1. The skillful author never
retires,
finds a better job, gets laid off, is transferred, gets fired, wins the
lottery, or ages.  2. The company never is merged, acquired, downsizes,
asks
for a government bailout, acquires another RACF company. 3. The source
is
never misplaced. 4. zOS is never upgraded from OS390, MVS/ESA, MVS-prior
flavors.....

Else, the term exit should be renamed to "future headache for its
inheritors."  5% of my experiences involved exits where the original
author
was still available...
