A large codebase is more likely to contain older, less maintained code. It didn't get to be large overnight! ;)

- MaulingMonkey 11y agoSo you're saying it's going to be even more effort to get compiling on a new compiler... that my 8-14 years estimate was low-balling the problem...? ;)
- humanrebar 11y agoThe problem was when someone budgeted for new code but didn't budget for this sort of maintenance. If there wasn't enough money for that, then the problem was the business plan. Yeah, easy to say in hindsight, but we won't figure out how to budget better or call out bad business plans if we don't start recognizing it when it happens.
