It can be very messy to upgrade for a sizeable chunk of developers. Linked libraries, lost compatibility. If the system gets unstable you lose years of installed dependencies. I mean some of the unix apps take literally hours to install, and a faulty upgrade can lose tens of them. You forget how you resolved conflicts, gotten stuff to work.
