Debian has to err on the side of caution and leave behind old things that are thought harmless but are not needed any more, so nothing has really changed in that regard and if it has bothered you in the past it will likely bother you again. If you're happy with reinstalling I recommend you do that. Personally I tend to reinstall servers but upgrade desktops and I still have one system that started off as Debian woody, on much older hardware, but I'm not going to spend any time advocating other people do the same. Do what works for you. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
