Recommendations regarding opkg upgrade on my 17.04.1 install

I read the following in this thread

I have been manually pulling down opkg updates since I started running 17.04.1. Fortunately, no breakage. I did not keep track of my manually installed packages very rigorously... I think the list includes: f2fs-tools, rsync, ncdu, htop, luci-ssl, qos-scripts, luci-app-qos**

  • What should I do from this point onward?
  • Is it recommended to downgrade back to the image-included versions?
  • Can I see a list of what I have manually updated?

Here is the output of opkg list-installed
