By now possibly, but you failed to understand my original post. When you
want support for software to continue beyond your life span it pays to
locate and designate with their agreement someone to take over lead
development for you at the appropriate time. The earlier you do this, the
better if you're careful in your selection process. It's like continuity
of government and why the United States has a chain of titles 50 deep to
replace the President.
