If you're in a larger corporater environment this can also be used to create some predictable labour needs - create a seasonal updating taskforce so that the business get a more transparent view of how much labour is being sunk into maintaining these, break it down into specific dependencies if you've got one or two that you think are particularly expensive- showing after the fact labour numbers from one season may motivate sane inhousing for next season.
