	I believe it is possible to have 80% reuse and not just be a rehash.
A sister project to the one I am working on released the first version of their
project that had about the same % of reuse.  The project (SMB, mentioned in
AdaIC recent issue and in Ada strategies (the one from the December time frame).
is more than rehash or maintanence because 3 subsystems from 3 other projects 
were extracted (w/ some modifications of course) and with a little
new code to come up with the new product.  Furthermore, the project that I am
currently working on has (only a approximation) between 50 and 60% reuse, not 
counting C code that was converted (and often redesigned for) to Ada (often
not too much savings).
