I mean over a longer period, transfer this responsibility to someone else.

I don't know, but if you read the comment I replied to he says:

> If I'd known what I know now, I would have moved to a hut up a mountain a decade ago rather than going into business.

Agreed. My point was that not continuing is difficult because it would mean going down, instead of up. Or in other words, I've been trying to guess the reason behind the lack of change, not question the intention itself.
