I was in a situation in the early 2000s where the team that would maintain our application after we were gone (to another project or product or company) were not skilled enough to follow certain things, and we were asked to change a number of things to make it easier for them. In that case, the leader of their team was self-aware and honest and communicative, which is the rare and exotic thing, but we did have to re-architect some things and even change the programming language in one area to suit their capabilities. Sometimes that's a business need, and it matters.
