Why are they so busy? Why is it important to the DDEV community? There’s a more formal description of a maintainer’s job in [Recruiting Maintainers](https://ddev.com/blog/recruiting-maintainers/), but the shorter answer: -**Everything is always changing**! You live there. You know that everything is constantly in flux today’s software world. Just this week, Node.js changed its installation technique and injected a 60-second wait (and deprecation notice) on the old one. And Magento 2 obsoleted support for Elasticsearch in many configurations. And the upstream support for putting artifacts links on PRs broke (again). This is all normal.

You know that everything is constantly in flux today’s software world. In this past week, Node.js changed its installation technique and injected a 60-second wait (and deprecation notice) on the old one.

But this kind of constant rot means that if DDEV were left unmaintained for 4-6 months you wouldn’t like it any more. We wouldn’t want that! **You always want more**! It’s a busy world, and DDEV’s many features are always inspiring people to ask for more features. We love to delegate these to multiple maintainers as the DDEV [Add-on system](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/extend/additional-services/) has done, but there are many, many cases where a wonderful feature request means changes to DDEV core.
