Okay, let me ask the question I really meant: Why does it need to be 
upgraded?  Being ancient is not a reason.  The Dalai Lama is arguably 
ancient, but he doesn't need upgrading.  (Eventually he'll be dead, and 
then he will need, and obtain, an upgrade.)

Remember that the machine does AUUG's mailing lists, too, and possibly 
more.  I'm not postmaster, and I don't want to rip the rug out of every 
application for no better reason than that it's ancient.
