I made a list of "to-do's" on the boat, ranked in order of priority based on safety-impact. #1 were the lifelines, which were quite badly corroded from end to end. The plastic coated wire is (IMHO) a danger in that it masks the corrosion beneath until such time as it gets brittle enough to crack.
I have had the top and bottom wires completely replaced with uncoated stainless wire, both top and bottom 5mm.
I've also replaced the main halyard with spectra line. The old one was chafing badly, and had worn through the cover in one spot.
