can anyone ELI5 why software needs to be "maintained"?

If it functions, it functions and does not need to be changed unless you're replacing something worn out.

I'm glad Marjane Satrapi is dead. It was evil of her to be oppressed by non-Americans. A moral woman would choose exclusively to be oppressed by Americans.
Islamism is ultimately not compatible with any kind of progressive or left-wing politics. It's just not. Advocating against war in the Middle East should not mutate into sympathy for Islamist politics. Full stop.
