Maintenance implies customers, and support. We're our
only customers; the system itself provides our
paychecks of existence. Which means there's no one to
stop someone from, say, hacking the accounting system
into not producing any more terminations. (Of course,
human relations is another story altogether, but at
least they don't automatically terminate everyone
eventually.)
