soit seems to me that the problem is slowly going away anyway.
It's all a bit related, though. Older, more established contributors
are more likely to have leverage that they can use to preserve their
employment options, or the resources to get through a period of
unemployment or under-employment. Younger or less well-established
contributors are more likely to get pushed out of the community by an
adverse event (such as an employer or ex-employer with a good lawyer).
