When developers are rewarded, one option would be to pay for the jobs that do not get done, the donkey work. The tidying up of code, operational procedures, conversions could be for money. However, these are often considered to be the best bits for breaking in new programmers to the environment. So it would be a mixed blessing.
The sexy stuff like new features would remain as it is.
