Not only skills, but software too.
Certainly Lightroom (/ACR) has seen some major improvements to its
demosaicing and noise reduction over the years, and I'm sure other software
likewise.
Even given the same settings and skill level, one can get a much better
result re-processing a raw file now than 5 or 10 years ago.

I figure my rendering skills are always improving, so I hang onto the RAWs.
Just the other day I wanted to print a picture of my dog who had passed
away. I went back to a 2004 shot I had produced with the *istD. I looked at
the tiff and felt that it left something to be desired. Went back and did a
new conversion. The result was a much nicer photo.

Yep. At that point I consider the tiffs as my negative - I don't need to
go back and convert the RAW again.

1. Should I convert all the old PEF files to DNG?
If you're keeping the RAW files I'd say yes.
After a time period after RAW file conversion I generall delete the RAW
files.
Wow!
To my mind, this is like: "After a time period after making prints from
my negatives, I generally throw away the negatives". Really?
