Based on the current gray color, this response has seen quite a few down votes. I wonder why? It essentially restates the premise of the article, and is reasonably accurate from my experience. ("upset the apple cart" may understate the risks of a "ground up" rewrite, but there are plenty of "bold approaches" that are less dramatic). It would be nice if down voters replied, it could be an interesting discussion.
