Exactly. The attrition rate part of the article is wrong. 18F hires on two year terms renewable for a second two years. At the end then, you are required to leave. So by definition the minimum attrition rate is 25%.

But during the Obama administration, they were backfilling. It sounds like a lot of people are electing not to do that second term, and they're not backfilling open positions.

Are you sure you mean to use the word "but" here. What you're saying, true or not, does not contradict what I said.
I did mean to use the word "but". Like I said, during the Obama administration, they were hiring to replace the people who were termed out, or simply did not renew for a 2nd term. That's not happening now.
