Systems upgraded over many years often have packages that not present in current F40. Resulting issues can be difficult to understand as few users will have those old packages. Doing a fresh install every few years keeps you closer to a configuration others have, so any issues you do encounter will probably affect others, but "all problems are shallow given enough eyes". A fresh install also gives you the option of moving to xfs or btrfs. -- George N. White III
