If a program just works, why should it be updated?

I've seen two reasons that working code needs to be updated:

1) Moving targets for compiler and tool chain. E.g. contemporary compiler tool chain can get quite unhappy with sufficiently old code. This seems to be related to evolving standards for the language in question.

2) The other external code that the internal code interfaces with becomes a moving target and as such the milter code (in this example) no longer works with the environment that it's meant to be used in.
