How it depends? can you take examples as for workstation and servers?

Won't upgrade them will get better security, better performance?
isn't this a good reason to upgrade?
otherwise RH want to release 8.0? commercial/marketing purpose?

long time ago, I read a linux paper (or book, I forget), it says try to stay 
at the same system, you don't need updrade the whole box, if you need to 
updrage, just upgrade the package you need.
I like this idea, but I get problem here, for example, apache server, I am 
running apache on 1.3.19, for the security purpose, I need upgrade it, 
should I go 1.3.27 or 2.0.xx? if I go 2.0.xx, it seems that I totally get 
rid of old apache because apache 2.0 is developed from scratch.

if I have about 80%-90% of package (similar to apache) need to upgrade 
(maybe include kernel), why not just upgrade the whole system to upper 
version?

any comments?
