Bold move.. Hopefully you're not getting calls in 10 years when stuff breaks and you're at a different company
(Public sector, if this stuff goes down people don't get their heart meds so I don't overly mind the stale followup calls. Tho I'll be shocked if any of that code is still in use, most of it was being obsoleted even back when I still worked there)
