If over 40% of development time is just keeping code alive, that’s not adding value to the product.
I assume the 60% “new” development includes 80% technical debt cost. If that doesn’t count towards “maintenance”, and that’s where the distinction is being made, I don’t think it’s a good distinction to make that point.
