Today we have an upgrade tool that makes the upgrade process almost 
seamless. That is, as long as you upgrade every time. Miss a version, 
and you're in trouble. Miss two or three versions, and any major change 
will force you to do a complete, wipe-your-drive re-installation.

As to why it matters: software is always subject to updates. Some of 
this is required for security reasons. And any version of an operating 
system must come to the end of its life, or else you have no time to 
invent anything new.
