sounds like you really dont want a contractor. i try to be available for followon work, but i cant promise anything really.
instead of trying to find another senior X person to come on fulltime, maybe you should pay someone to pick up X?
Sounds as not a good proposition for me as a client. It breaks the trust in your effort being for the best of my interest.
No that different from a mercenary's logic. Even then some loyaly to the payer is expected.
How would you go on supporting the product past completion of your work? Saying that it broke in the part that you did not write? Well, you touched it, you "own" it... at least in client's mind.
