The big reason(s) for not upgrading your LMMS version when working on a project is for the project not getting corrupt/bad/lost forever. I would strongly discourage anyone to upgrade LMMS versions when working on important songs.
Many programs break backwardcompatibility at times when they have existed for a long time. Word by Microsoft did it with Word 2007 for example, they included a compatibility mode (converter perhaps, or something) for viewing and editing old files, though. We should focus on making LMMS2 a program which can maintain backward comp for as long as possible, by being smart and thinking thoroughly now. Vesa have been doing some thinking, for example, and with some feedback by others these new functions of LMMS which break backwardcompat. now will probably last long or forever in the future.
