I'm not going to update something just because I can, or install an update 
because someone tells me I should.  If it's not broken, don't fix it.

I install security updates that impact applications and services that I'm 
running, but that is different from upgrading the entire OS.

In reality, I find the time and patience to check out the latest versions of 
various distros just to see if there is a bell or whistle worth having. 

What problems have you had upgrading/updating?
