You should learn the same: take pride in the fact that things you wrote years ago are still useful. Part of that means write good code so that it is easy to fix any newly discovered hack, without having to update everything else to the latest.

This post was about an operating system (Software).
People shouldn't be using code that is no longer supported (support it yourself or don't use it, it's dangerous).
And people should be rebuilding their infrastructure from scratch as often as possible. That's the only way to prove you've built something reliable, auditable, and correct.
VMs and containers make that very easy and achievable for even the smallest of teams.
Linux goes to great lengths to support lots of different (and old) hardware. Linus has said many times, if you maintain it, it can stay.
