Question: I’ve been using RW since back about release 4, and over the years my RW app has accrued a bunch of cruft. Is it worth while to do a “clean install” with RW7 and add only the themes, addons, stacks and even snippets I’m actually using nowadays? Or is it better to install RW7, automatically upgrading/copying over all the addons, and go through and individually remove those which have become unloved, unused and unneeded? There are a LOT of items in each of the used and unused categories, so work volume doesn’t provide much guidance. Will one approach result in a more robust RW ecosystem than the other?

Many thanks,  
John
