Please explain me how updating the uses sections with correct unit names
can cause extra errors.
You should also realize that the new UTF-8 system breaks some code, thus
you should go through your code in any case when updating to Lazarus 1.6+.
When maintaining old codebase it makes sense to stick with the old
Lazarus version. However if you anticipate any substantial changes then I
recommend updating Lazarus because of all its improvements.
