So true.

Recently, I have seen a re-write which a months into the engagement I was in a meeting when a senior management asked the attendees whether the re-write was "rubbish". Then I was glad that I wasn't asked directly as from the little I saw I wouldn't have been confident enough to say "no". As it stands, if asked directly today my answer would be "yes". All change, little improvement (if any) in performance, reliability and maintainability.
