According to HA HA Budys Here :
New code applies to new construction, or new circuits installed TODAY, not
new
appliances. Hook up your new stove exactly the way the old one was
connected

Not always. While _most_ old practise is grandfathered, there are
exceptions.
Like smoke detector rules. It _certainly_ is here in the case of stoves and
dryers.

Really Chris?
Where exactly is "here?"
Say a homeowner with a 30 year old range, directly wired, replaces it with a
new one. What code or city/county ordinance supercedes your National or
Canadian electrical code which has absolutely no provision to replace that kind
of installation with an updated, current code-compliant method?
