That's the theory. The problem is that there may not be anything to upgrade to, because release dates tend to slip. For instance, the original EoL date for 6.2 was 2008-01-31, but 6.3 wasn't released until 2008-01-18. This was addressed at the last minute by extending 6.2's lifetime by four months.
