While it is understood that legacy = old/unmaintained/crap, No, legacy = the foundation everything else builds on. Change it at the risk of forcing everyone who uses your product to rebuild everything from scratch.

It's not a fashion show - things aren't better just because they are different. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
