Do you mean to *add* the new tweaks, or to *remove* them?

I don't think one can accomodate both sides.
So I would be inclined to err on the side of improvement.

I guess this is your cue, Wolf K? :)

I think one needs most of that maintenance even if not upgrading.
But we are usually just not aware of it.

At least all Ron's points seem to apply, except the points 7 and 5:
- 7 because you're going against it on purpose (... another discussion);
- 5 because you just do it once, on installing the theme - since
you're not updating.
