so don't upgrade. There are still people running redhat 7.3 and as2.1 in 
production environments, hell my employer still runs openvms. some people 
what everything to be new and fresh and wonderful all of the time, some 
people want stuff to never change.

I need more frequent feature releases than once a year or two years 
because otherwise the amount of patching/bashing and wholesale package 
replacement to bring our machines up to where we want them becomes rapidly
onerous. In the end no distro's update frequency will satisfy everyone's 
needs or desires which is in part why there are so many of them out there 
to chose from.
