The most obvious and critical reason is because of security. You don't want your app to be stuck on Ubuntu 12.04 forever, but that's exactly what can happen. If you're not incrementally updating and fixing your stuff, you end up facing 5+ years of accumulated problems, at which point many people will take door #2: keep using the broken environment until somebody forces you not to; or door #3: start from scratch. The upgrade treadmill is exactly that, a treadmill--it's exercise. The alternative to not exercising is poor health and an early death. |
