Linux distributions are meant to be a whole package. Every piece of software is related in a distribution. A single distro is very much tied into all the software/packages it comes with. Therefore when you update a distro to a newer version almost all of the installed software gets updated with it. Even some obsolete or older software get removed from the system. If you are already set to a version of a distro. And it is hard to have a decent internet connection. You do not need to update your distro version. One of my family member is still using 8.04. He is very happy with his OS.
Long story short. If you do not upgrade to 10.10 now, there is no harm in it. In fact, I am thinking of skipping 10.10 in my machine also. Some of the people I know in this list will skip it too.
