I agree with you to an extent...
I have met a few 40+ technical folks (mainframers mostly...) and they still go on and on about their killer JCL and their COBOL. COME ON, keep learning new technologies like networking, HTML, SQL....(or even PERL)
I think that the folks that don't want to learn current development and/or networking technology *OR* how to manage folks are setting themselves up to be maintainance programmers only. When their maintaince responsiblity ages out, so will they.
