If you use `rpmconf` to upgrade the system configuration files supplied with the upgraded packages then some configuration files may change.

[[sect-clean-up-retired-packages]]
=== Clean-up retired package
Every release Fedora retires a few packages. There are various reasons:
the package become obsoleted, dead upstream or maintainer stepped down.
Fedora no longer distribute these packages, but they are still present
at your systems. You will never receive upgrades. Not even security ones.
It is highly recommend to remove these packages.
