Actually, much of it has been rewritten.

I recall Ken Thompson unimpressed with Linux in 1999: "Microsoft is really unreliable but Linux is worse. In a non-PC environment, it just won't hold up." Much of Linux has been rewritten since then, too.

Ultimately, this is just trash-talk. It goes over well with the posse, but it's low. Brian Kernighan has never indulged.
