This is my hope and belief as well. Without the fire, much of it was going to have to be replaced/reconstructed at some point in the future anyway. It's an 850 year old building. In order to maintain it, we have to face the Ship of Theseus problem [0] and accept that it is a dynamic building, not a perfectly preserved snapshot of 1345 or whenever you consider it "done being built". The reconstruction of the spire in the 1800s shows that this has already been happening.
