Using an old version often isn’t feasible.
For example I lost sound support on my Gentoo OLPC because I had to update my Emacs to 24 to support my .emacs.d from my desktop without endless compatibility issues. Emacs 24 required a new udev, which required a new kernel version, which did not support the audiocard properly.
Result: No more hacking with music in the train for me.
@steve: Thank you for that article! I hadn’t seen it yet.
