Yeah, this is a terrifying response that chases away young talent. I saw a comment mentioning how the mature devs are cut out and don't have the chance to help pull up the new dev/give them training and wisdom.
If the older maintainers don't have time for new devs without all the experience they gained over a lifetime, then FOSS is in for a crash.
