If you like, but 5.14 will be fine if you want to stick with your 
current setup.  Just don't install the secure email modules.  You won't 
miss them

Yep

That could be the case.  Older versions of those modules worked in 5.12 
(what the previous installer used), but I skipped 5.14 for get_iplayer, 
so there may have been a wobble there.  Just the fact that module exists 
with "ButMaintained" in its tells you all you need to know.
