This reason should not be underestimated you know. :-)
But here's another: The problem in not upgrading kernels until you're forced
to, with such a wonderful OS as Linux (:-)), is that you could be using the
same kernel/distribution version for so long, that when something comes along
that means you *do* have to upgrade, you have to do a very big upgrade and
discover that lots and lots of things have changed just enough to break an
interesting amount of the software you're running.
It's fine that you don't *have* to upgrade, but I get twitchy if I start to
feel that I *can't* upgrade safely.
Hence I'm on 2.2.4 even though the masquerading/demand dialling doesn't work
as well (which is probably our fault).
