Question Refrigerator Water Line Replacement?

I went to Home Depot to buy a new refrigerator and they told me that since I have the plastic push/pull water shutoffs in my house they will not install a new water supply line. They said the existing supply line, a nylon reinforced plastic line, is squeezed on to the shutoff. They said the homeowner has to change it while they stand there and watch. I suppose the push/pull plastic shutoffs have a reputation for breaking, although they didn't say that.

If you ran into this problem, how did you deal with it?

It's probably prudent to change the 10 year old supply line, but did anyone just leave it in place?

Thanks
