There's a benefit to upgrading periodically, which is that it may ease future upgrades -- including when one is really needed. It's kind of like rebasing, where if you let a branch sit for too long, suddenly you're in trouble. That said, the upgrades are kind of a pain (I did one of them in the past). So, it can be hard to motivate to do them; and given the slow pace of auto* development, there's not often a need to rush into it. Tom
