What I find interesting, is that on one hand, everyone seems to agree that upgrading should be done constantly and continuously and that running end-of-life software is like making love with a corpse or something. On the other hand, somehow, when I talk with people who actually maintain a computer which does something useful and/or critical, I get something like: "Well, because of a special situation we have, we're still with the version released ten years ago". The amusing thing is that so many are in that "special" situation. When your computer does something important, the number one priority is that it behaves like it did yesterday. To me, the last important release of perl was 5.8 because it handles Unicode natively. The best feature of versions that came afterwards is the fact that nothing I use broke.
