In my experience, upgrading is not a big deal. If your site works
fine, there's not really a compelling reason to upgrade. (I still have
some sites running tbnl-0.3, from early 2005). If you have problems,
upgrading to the latest version is not generally a difficult
process. The fear of upgrading can be a bigger obstacle than actually
upgrading.
