An AppServer contains many components. The WebSphere
team cannot simply upgrade to the latest and greatest
of each component each time it comes out. Think of all
the incompatibilities (or code deprecation) that
they'd have to resolve. By the time you upgrade to the
latest version, who's to say another point release
isn't out already.
There just comes a time in a project where you say "No
more!!", or else the inevitable feature creep happens.
