crm 2013 Form

Question

Hello All,
I want to upgrade my CRM 2011 forms to CRM 2013 forms for some OOB entities like address, Article, Case, connection and connection role there is only one form (Old form) available but for Account, Contact , Lead and opportunities forms I found the new Upgrade default forms.
Do I need to create a new form for those entities that have only one form to make the form 2013 or I have to leave it as is.
Any idea for these entity forms

Thanks Jason,
Do you know these entities that have not been converted to use the new form ( CRM 2013 form) will be deprecated. I am in the middle of upgrading to 2013 and want to know why MS doesn't converted them to use the new forms.
Regards,

Classic forms don't mean that the entity will be deprecated., these entities have significant amount of OOB functionality. The product team focused on updating forms of frequently used entities for this release (maybe because of time constraints). Below is the notes from implementation guide.
The forms for the Updated entities and custom entities provide the most options. We selected a group of entities that are used by most people and gave them a new user experience that includes many new capabilities including support for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM for tablets client, business process flows, and business rules. One of the key requirements in providing these new experiences includes the goal that a form customizer can design once and deploy to all clients.
Yet there are still a number of entities that retain the appearance and capabilities carried over from the previous version. Entities using classic forms weren’t updated because they are not used frequently by most people and updating them wouldn’t have a significant impact on the experience of most people using the application. This allowed us to focus our attention on the updated entities.
