True, but 8 years is a long time, it's pretty normal for people to rise up the ranks in that time.
In any case as I said, these kinds of people sticking around for the transition period is important, so there's no eff ups while the new people are learning their jobs. They are also generally not abruptly replaced, but with some transition time of their own, during which they can make sure their replacements will have everything under control. And they especially are not usually all replaced at once.
That is how a properly functioning government is supposed to work, with very little drama.
Anyway I actually came to post this, because this just seems so fitting.
