I didn't read this thread but just about that comment: I think the solution to that is constant reinvention. Hopefully new people will join the project and from time to time parts of the system will be rewritten. Sometimes forced (python 2 -> python 3) or sometimes just out of necessity (coercion system). So, just like a living organism, old parts die or are replaced by new parts that do the same or do it better ... (right now, for example, I want to code a smartphone client that communicates with sage,but the simple server api doesn't do what I want. I guess I'll have to rewrite it. that's an example for old code that will be rejuvenated out of necessity.)
