I think that this:

"Your first task when changing old code is to build an adequate test
suite to ensure you do not introduce new mistakes as you attempt to
improve it. Thank you for improving the world for future generations!"

is too demanding.  There are enormous areas of our code that don't
have a test suite.  How comprehensive a test suite do I need before
changing slideshow?  Or scribble (which has a test suite for the
syntax, but not the language)?
