Yes, we are aware of this and know that eventually everything will be rewritten. If it is technically impossible, e.g. trying to run Windows on Univac, that's one thing, if it's just pain and waste, I need to figure out how much pain and waste. It sounds like it is possible, even if not desirable--or do you disagree with the other replies?

...and of course, it's obvious that there isn't a good reason.

I really don't want to start a flame on this; suffice it to say, the decision is made. There are valid reasons for it (not everyone may agree, but it's not simply religious decision or an uninformed pointy haired boss). There are pro's and con's to choosing Java or .NET and I need to evaluate those, too.
