I would hardly call Tulin and Ugur old. But since it's not
unreasonable to think of 60s as retirement age, it appears Tulin and
Ugur have taken PP to the "next step," where it will be able to run
without them.

Although it's unresonable to expect things to stay the same forever, I
have faith that Ugur and Tulin will do their best to make sure the
company culture they have nurtured is maintained. To know them is to
know they are not just going to fill their pockets and walk off into
the sunset.

Yes.

Tulin is not the person you'll speak to about service issues. Users
have a relationship with her because she's likely the one who sold
them the software. And she cares. And she's a great liaison between
users and development. But as long as the culture is kept in place,
that conduit is likely to be kept open.
