Cleaning up a language is a benefit worth paying in price for. How many
millions of lines of C code had to be re-written when the ANSI standard

Exactly none. ANSI preserves most K&R semantics and that
won't change in the foreseeable future.
I can only talk of ANSI C++. I was involved in a porting project from pre-ANSI C++ to ANSI C++ and lots of stuff broke :)
I'm just saying this as a FYI. I'm too far behind my Email to comment on the thread itself.
