You're making it seem inevitable that valuable people will be held back in stale roles. Things don't have to be this way, although I have heard of places where they are.

In other firms, new tasks come along and they need good people to lead them. People who have developed a smaller system that is now in maintenance mode are a perfect candidate. And that is how you advance.
