One problem with using low ESR caps is that some regulators depend upon the 
ESR for stability.

Why replace the tantalums?  Do they dry out like electrolytics?

I poked around a bit and found a couple of web pages that said no-problems, 
but both specifically referred to solid tantalums.  Are there versions using 
a liquid?
