My point is that if the rewrite is not able to be classified as a refactor, it wont work. It has to be entirely invisible to the user (and product side of the org). Otherwise, it is never going to be completed.


That's literally the point of the strangler fig pattern :)

The difference between a rewrite and refactor is a bit vague and nor easy to determine when talking theoretically.
