Good software will be good-er. Bad software will be nightmare fuel.

I think bad software has the possibility of redemption with rewrites and re-engineering efforts. For those of us who are license locked that's probably never going to benefit us :(

		Bad software, as in stateless programs, doesn't actually matter and never did. They can be replaced trivially. The problem is the real world isn't made of stateless programs, but lots of important data in bespoke formats/schemas, and if you change the shitty software that interacts with the important data, in the wrong way, you can lose everything.
