One thing not to forget is that if you unleash refactoring on a grand scale you'll end up with second version syndrome.

Thus, management has a problem. To allow refactoring, they need to believe there's a technical person in charge that is able to keep the refactoring in check. But, as a manager, how would you asses that?

Isn't the solution to allow very regular (daily?) refactoring, instead of pilling new stuff for weeks and months and then having a big refactoring party?
