Well, I'm not going anywhere. I might die, of course, as might happen to any of us. But I have no plans to that effect. :-)
So, although I agree that we should devise processes that rely less and less on me, it isn't because I'm not going to be as closely involved as I am now. I'm here for the long haul, as far as I know.
It's a good idea, but for the wrong reasons. The reliance sounds more like little kids whining to daddy when their brother hits therm. It can be tedious. Sometimes those kids need to learn how to solve their own problems as part of growing up.
