Too many increases the chance that the other persons code is written with themes and idioms that the maintainer is not familiar with. Why does your organization not have coding standards? Why are you not performing code reviews of some kind? Why are you hiring maintenance programmers without sufficient language experience or at least sufficient training in your organization's coding standards? You betrayed your own argument when you said "poorly written code". How can you even identify code quality without these things? If your maintenance programmers can't handle the style of syntax your organization uses, I can't see how they have any hope of handling the interesting problems of maintainability.
