i keep agreing with Matias. plus consider nowadays is easy to fall
into mystified visions of "updating to the latest", but this is not
necessary in all cases, it just depends.

one of the main focuses of dyne:bolic for instance is that of
supporting old computers and it doesn't helps to just upgrade any time
a new version of a kernel, application or library is available. also
the fact it can be customized into ad-hoc LiveCDs can be a reason to
not upgrade, to avoid breaking backward compatibility with user-built
software modules.

actually, from a user point of view, the lack of updates on a system
that is already solid and does what it should do, is reassuring ground
for more sustainable personal customisations.

not sure i made my point clear here, such a position is so under
represented nowadays that it would deserve longer explanations and
better examples, however i'm just chipping in some thoughts "contro
corrente" matured while building a gnu/linux distribution with a large
and specialized user base.

ciao
