Well, it is rare that anyone _need_s to upgrade Bacula, and I think most messages said that the particular person in question *should* upgrade.
If a user is technical and happy with the Bacula installation, there is no need to upgrade, but if you: - Need support - Want important (in some cases critical) security fixes - Want new features - Want performance improvements - You run into a blocking bug (that is already fixed or will be fixed in a current version). ... Then it may make sense to upgrade.
