Maybe we are not good at explaining that we need help to fix stuff and more oftne than not the people who experience the problems are best suited to provide said help. > I don't see a way how we can improve this.

"old school" and "slow development" could easily solved by fresh blood - much more than by anything the "old schoolers" would do.
