I didnt up/down vote, but rewriting in something like a performant, secure subset of Go/Rust/X and formally-proving correctness to remove many classes of errors would arguably have immense net value greater than the pain and cost of progressive/gradual rewriting migration from C to something with fewer dangerous corners and far less code to accomplish the same system behavior.

I don't mean to show support for either the "rewrite everything in X/Y/Z" crowd or the "C is all we need forever" crowd (or their non-straw-man equivalents). I just thought the early state of the comments in this thread was funny, is all.
