Couldn't have put it better myself. It's great for the problems nobody has ever had time to solve. It's the problems that fall just below the ROI threshold, that tend to pile up until you have hundreds to thousands of them, each with icky weird dependencies that are _exactly_ the reason nobody has time to work on them.

Now you can chip through a dozen of these complex issues a day, and hope has finally arisen for getting through the backlog. That's a life-changing difference for anyone with a legacy code base.
