This is precisely the same model being fomented by the Defense contractor community in wanting to replace working Ada code (see below) - which had been mandated for years - with C++ or Java code. Their rationale is often that they can't find Ada programmers to maintain the code. Of course, what they don't tell you is that there is so little maintenance required that they can't make money unless they do the conversions to something more buggy...
