Nobody would be required to upgrade to a new minor release either ... 
nobody is *require* to upgrade to any release, for that matter ...

Hell, when we have a client that comes to us with a problem, we don't 
recommend upgrading unless we find something in the RELEASE NOTES to 
indicate something has been fixed related to their problem ... it isn't a 
automatic "well, upgrade to the latest stable first, and then we can help 
you" ...

God, we still have clients using 7.2 servers, cause they've had no reason 
yet to upgrade to the latest ... "it works, why upgrade?" is generally the 
opinion ...
