Review

• On reading through the article, one thing in particular jumps out to me. It feels like article sort of assumes that the waterfall model is the default (and only) model used in software development. The article very briefly mentions the fact that software is often delivered in a incomplete state nowadays but doesn't address the elephant in the room i.e. the fact that a lot of the software development that happens today happens in a iterative manner utilizing frameworks like the agile software development and often the maintainence phase is done alongside the rest of the phases.
• The article should probably give some context on where/how the offshoring/outsourcing happens. Currently, the article has a slight bit of a globalization issue, as it mentions offshoring and outsourcing the maintainance of software to other countries without any context of which countries do it when I'm pretty sure it tends to be mostly the anglosphere.
• that maintenance is not be practical or economical
• The section Alternatives to maintenance should probably be prosified with context on when those list options are chosen.
