1. how important to make our system (OS and packages) always up-to-date ( except with security reason of course ), because some people says " you should update your system at least once a year"
Given the ease of upgrading OpenBSD, and the recommendation not to skip releases when upgrading, it's probably worthwhile to install each new version of the OS. If not, you'll have to do more work when there is a security update to install. Upgrading packages is usually straightforward, and the updates to the package tools between 3.7 and 3.8 make it simpler than before.
2. if i'm doing upgrade from 3.7 to 3.8, what happen to my old program's since my old program's using the old librari's ? is it still works without recompiling ? 3. and another if, how to make my system clean after i'm upgrade from one version to another version ? because i still see the old libraries from the old version !
These two questions are linked - the old libraries are left so that you can continue to use your old software without recompiling. Unless you're seriously short of disk space, just leave them, they won't cause a problem.
