He maintains his code quite well. Thing is he only changes something
if there is something to change. In the case of qmail-1.03 this means
no change since 1998. Why? Simply because qmail-1.03 is essentially
bugfree and works perfectly for it's intended purpose. I know because
I spend the last five years writing and maintaining the qmail-ldap
add-on and know the qmail code inside-out. Actually once you get used
to it it's very nice and clean.
