Is it fair to say that Secondlife is such a mess of code that they have finally got to a point where they cant even update it anymore?

To be fair, it is an extremely complex set of cooperating systems and applications. What with staff turnover, and Linden Lab saying that much of it is undocumented or poorly documented - perhaps they've hit barriers in their understanding of how key pieces are intended to fit together.

Loki:
We don't know anything about the server code status. About the viewer, Rob 'Linden' Lanphier recently stated [*] that it is in a much better shape than last year, and that it's going to get even better. You are obviously free not to believe him.
Personally, I have no reason to think that they 'are at a point where they cant even update it anymore'. However, this is being debated on sldev mailing list and in other places [**]
