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?

Hi jimmydoodlebug
I had that same conversation with Home Depot when we decided to rid ourselves of the kitchen appliances installed . They gave us the same sad story. So we purchased our appliances elsewhere and viola they had absolutely no problems attaching the new water supply line.
However I did have one plastic connection line under my master toilet leak so we replaced the entire valve. We considered replacing them all (9) but it gets expensive . We may well do it in 2016 to be on the safe side.
We also replaced our carbon dioxcide alarm and fire alarms twice. We bought in 2006
