We'd love to see program transformation tools turning 20-year-old "legacy" code into shiny modern code, we encourage the development, deploymenta and use of such tools, -we hope the guidelines wil help the development of such tools, -and we even contributed (and contribute) to the research and developemnt in this area. +we hope the guidelines will help the development of such tools, +and we even contributed (and contribute) to the research and development in this area. However, it will take time: "legacy code" is generated faster than we can renovate old code, and so it will be for a few years. This code cannot all be rewritten (ever assuming good code transformation software), especially not soon.
