Personally, if it does not cost anything - cancel the old and then book new.
Since this uncertainty has started I have avoided cancelling any of my flights most of which have been rescheduled.
If your flight was rescheduled and you cancel and re-book you many lose the ability to get a full refund.
If you get a full refund to your original form of payment, book a new flight and later want to cancel, you may be stuck with travel funds.
Of course if your booked via points you get those back anyway.
It's something to think about given the uncertainty in the air.
I'm taking all of the refunds I can get. I have plenty of points and travel funds. I can always use cash.
