Thanks for sharing your upgrade experience! That's great to hear. I can't speak for others but I try to keep 3.1 as good as possible. My employer has much more interest in 3.x release lines. Also, given that we typically make one release each year and that a large installation typically runs on a certain release line for 2-3 years or longer, I think it is reasonable to see up to 3 3.x release lines.
