Depends on the kind of maintenance. I'd say using a complicated library, or 
porting it to a new environment, is much closer to interfacing to a protocol 
than it is to maintaining the library.

Sure, fixing someone else's code, or adding functionality? You're going to 
need to read the code. Documentation that tells you what code you don't need 
to read would be great.

Figuring out what goes in the configuration files based by reading the 
configuration file parser? Sucktastic.
