Well, update to latest release (every 6 month) and you will get latest
and greatest anyway. Updating old releases to latest and greatest
(features and new versions) has a cost, unless update is essential, or
a serious bugfix or security fix.
It's bad to force users to update so often - it's not usually without problems
and it's really big change. Read my proposal (in this thread branch, reply to
akurtakov), I think it's nice compromise how to have stable and still current
releases without pain, overhead for maintainers etc...
