Okay, Reddit is a good example of a successful rewrite during a growth phase. I had forgotten that. As I've personal knowledge of several unsuccessful rewrites, it would be great to hear more anecdotes about successful rewrites in growth phase and try to analyse what made them succeed. Rewrite is more likely to succeed if you are not in a high growth phase, but even then it's risky.
