Apparently the synaptic program isn't fully aware of the modernized sources format, and will only partially work with them. So, if you're a synaptic user, that would be a reason *not* to modernize. If you don't use synaptic, then to the best of my knowledge there's no compelling argument for either side, so it's up to you. If you want to get ahead of the changes, you can go for it. If you prefer stability above all, then you can hold off, and wait for Trixie.
