Anyone creating a need to rewrite millions of lines of code needs painful execution.
They are living in an Ivory tower a million miles from reality.
Just in my own systems it would probably take me months to remove code that relies on the mysql extension.
Security issues simply mean we have to take extra care sanitizing user input, nothing like the same big deal involved in a complete rewrite.
