I'm not denying that there are codebases where trying this would result in an Armageddon of refactoring, but I would venture that's the exception rather than the rule.
Most C programmers use "const char*" for string literals, and have for a long time.
In my EU country, lots of first year students are kind of lost and are picking their major more or less at random (or very unprepared). Very low passing rates in first year are very common. It gets better in 3rd year and after.
