Nah, he is wrong. Why do people care so much about bloggers? 
Software usually needs a complete rewrite after decades of adding 
new features the original architecture did not forsee. It doesn't 
look like crap because of bugfixes, if that was so then the 
orginal design and implementation is beyond saving anyway.

The reality is that you have a better understanding the second 
and third time to come up with a better model + hardware 
improvements ( like more RAM) allow adoptions of better models.
