I agree with you answer, however I think it would still be worth mentioning WissZeitVG in the text. We mention in the abstract (via #195) that "our ideas take inspiration from existing RSE units in the UK and US, and adapt those to the German academic environment." WissZeitVG is a relevant aspect of the German academic environment, and until we can convince institutions to create permanent positions, senior RSEs have to use third-party funding (DFG, Horizon, etc.) to remain employed beyond the 5-year limit.

Shouldn't we argue for more academic Mittelbau? Because even if there was no WissZeitVG, there would still be normal employee rights, which restrict the durations of fixed term contracts.
