if any code is still used, even if just once per year, it should be in the active maintenance pool and assigned to one or more coders to keep up to date.

That is a really cool idea which many of us believe in. But unfortunately the real world is dominated by businesses and not by cool software developers. And it just so happens that there are a lot of really badly coded business critical enterprise applications with millions lines of code. Those apps need a major overhaul, not some refactoring.
