"Maintaining it as it is will cost more in terms developer life span"
Yes will, my life span is expected to be short enough already! Time for a white lie - along the lines of "not supportable", "not feasable" or if you prefer more of the Mythbusters slant: "not plausable" I have previously undertaken such a conversion as what you might call "technical debt/death" but it always leads me to Developer Pain so I tend to be upfront.

Peter, I feel your pain. Some things must not be maintained but scrapped, this is a perfect example, otherwise why not leave it running on whatever ancient server it was running on as it was? Maintaining it as it is will cost more in terms developer life span. Regards Arjang
