Well, I don't think there's a "business migration strategie" for that,
and neither is it needed.  I'd just delete the old yasnippet from my
.emacs.d/, delete the relevant load-path adjustment from my .emacs (if
there is one), install yasnippet from ELPA, and restart emacs to check
if it still works.  If so, start over with the next package.
