I think all good developers have their connotations and anecdotes for words like 'poorly-understood', 'gigantic', 'no unit tests', 'tangled build infrastructure', let alone '25 years of technical debt'.
What I was surprised to see is the word 'resurrect'. As if they wanted to imply LibreOffice was dead.
Well, I think many developers know the feeling when working with a codebase which just feels like riding a dead horse...uphill, both ways, in the cold...and when you manage to refactor some part it starts to feel like it gets up on one leg and so on.
