Comment(by erik@…):

 Thanks for clarifying. I'm learning every day.

 Re: long time no upgrade...
 For a long time, we were content with our setup: If it works, don't fix
 it:)

 Re: upgrade path
 I appreciate the push to clean current code of (near-)obsolete elements.
 However, I wonder how much overhead such an upgrade path adds to a port.
 Is the gain from removing it worth the loss of causing slight trouble for
 users like myself?
 I imagine that having it in place is maintenance free. Ignorance is
 bliss...
