How many bugs should a software project have? You can’t justify a rewrite of working code because there might be bugs.

Memory bugs! I mean mean memory bugs.
Every project should have exactly zero (0) memory bugs. That's nigh impossible to achieve with large codebases written in C/C++ or some other unsafe language.
Chromium and FireFox are still busily fixing memory bugs twenty years after the code was written. It's a God-awful mess!
