Package †
Since a lot of packages are installed in Raspbian Wheezy, the installed microSD card can be used as it is inserted into the microSD card drive of Raspberry Pi. Including MetaPackages and libraries, totally 853 packages are included in Raspbian Wheezy. It contains the full packages for desktop managements such as printing functions, managing moving images, voice and sound. It includes the libraries for development and packages for programing languages. OpenCV and Wolfram-Engine are also included initially. The boot-up of OS is done by SysVinit.

Update †
As of October 2015, to apply apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, the packages are updated. Once the update of respberrypi-bootloader is done, the kernel is updated from 3.18.11 to 4.1.7 without making a backup copy of kernel.

To execute rpi-update, the kernel is updated to 4.1.10. Unlike the update of raspberrypi-bootloader, rpi-update saves the contents of the /boot/ partition into the /boot.bak/ of rootfs, and the original kernel modules are stored into /lib/modules/ and /lib/modules.bak/.

As rpi-update is executed on 3.18.11 kernel, which is kept original setting as 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy is written into a microSD card, the directory under /lib/modules/ is changed as it is shown below.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls /lib/modules
3.18.11+ 3.18.11-v7+ 4.1.10+ 4.1.10-v7+
In their name of directory, the “-v7” suffix indicates that its directory is for Raspberry Pi 2 (ARMv7 architecture).
After the kernel is updated to 4.1.7 and rpi-update is executed, the directory under /lib/modules/ is changed as it is shown below.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls /lib/modules
4.1.7+ 4.1.7-v7+ 4.1.10+ 4.1.10-v7+
If you frequently need 3.x.x kernel or if you often bring back the original condition by any reasons, please apply rpi-update and save the contents of /boot/ partition and kernel modules into the directories below /boot.bak/ and /lib/modules.bak/, respectively. If to do so, you can bring back the original settings.
