What prompted everyone to want to rewrite so much code?

They were on a system where if bugs existed past a certain date of them being logged, their was financial penalties that had to be paid.

Also adding new features was incredibly slow, painful and dangerous. Even a minor change resulted in so much manual regression needing to be done. It was absurd.
