My point is that ongoing maintenance can't be split into discrete pieces of
work, nor arguably can a given timescale be associated with cleanup.
For example YUVJ is difficult, until you remove it and see the bugs you
don't know how long it will take. This is not suited to the bounty/SoW
methodology.

We don't need STF to be funding features, we need maintenance,
infrastructure etc which all lends itself to salaried work.
