It can, like any project. But LMS can also be maintained by changing
teams. People come and go. 

The only thing I can add as a dev is that the core of LMS is extremely
well architectured, it’s pretty amazing. 

The level of thoughts that has been made to make it extensible is
remarkable. I’ve very rarely tripped on a problem where there was not in
fact already a solution inside LMS and only my ignorance made me
struggle and try to rebuild a feature instead of using the build-in
capability. And when the option was really missing, doing an extension
has always been extremely easy.

I can take my example of the group plugin that I was expecting to be a
nightmare and an ugly patch to develop. In fact it turned out to be a
really small amount of code to extend something that one would have
though to be touching too close to the core of LMS. Most of my struggles
where due to me being a mediocre developer.

The only thing I miss in LMS is candidly a doc of all these great
capabilities.

I’m not saying that volumio is not as good, I don’t know but I can say
for sure that LMS is pretty impressive from that point of view, compared
to what you usually found in the world of sdk’s and frameworks
