I really just cannot imagine going through several updates-over-the-top,
to get from a quite out-of-date to a current release, is going to be
easier than a fresh install then customise it.

The updates are a nuisance, even if they go through without new bugs for
you to deal with (some completely new, others related to incompatibility
with what's left behind from previous installs).  Time-consuming,
storage-space-consuming, etc.  And to have to do that several times
over.  Once is annoying enough (I stopped trying to do that years ago).

Not to mention that there's a very good chance that as you go through
different releases, you'll strike things that cause new problems, with
each release.  Dropped and changed packages, may remove things you
wanted, or make them incompatible with past data.
