The original question implied that Umbraco are rewriting for the purpose of moving to MVC. I think it is much more likely that they were planning to rewrite for other reasons and decided to take the opportunity to switch to the superior platform. Rewriting a large app just to switch from webforms to mvc would be stupid in most cases.
