The world is not black-and-white. One can have more or less issues.

And the same goes for improving the situation. Stopping the world and rewriting everything is never going to fly. The only viable approach is gradual introduction of safer techniques, be it a language or verification options, that step by step improve things and make the bar of adoption minimal. Nobody is going to get convinced if this is cast as a culture war. The folks annoyed by the status quo need to bring the skeptics along, everything else is doomed to fail (as well-illustrated by all the discussions here).
