I have upgraded my WP blogs once, and found the whole thing very cumbersome because of the backing up process. Even today, although I did eventually figure out how to back the blog up, I don't remember how I would reinstall it if there was ever a time that an upgrade went wrong! So that in and of itself has put me right off of upgrading at each new version. If I stuff it up, I don't know how to reinstate the blog! I agree with John G's comment above. Use patches like Microsoft does (it seems with unfailing regularity lol) to fix their bugs and issues. Have these patches install very easily remembering that users use blogs because they are supposed to be easy to use! .-= Gareth C Thomas´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.magicmoneytips.com/pricedout-londoners-turn-to-empty-homes/" rel="nofollow">Pricedout Londoners turn to empty homes</a> =-.

That being said, they could be an automatic process, like a virus database update. Leave the good stuff to be an upgrade, so that people upgrade for the good reasons: they want to have a better version of the product, not because they're scared their blog will collapse.

Especially Wordpress 2.6 sub-versions got released pretty frequently & sometimes made me a bit annoyed. By the way, there was still a plugin for automatic upgrade.
