I second that. Of all the different packages I've ever used, apache and
postgresql are usually the most compelling of all to upgrade. The new
release versions are always more secure, more stable, faster, and easier
to use. I.e. the upgrade always saves me enough time down the line that
it's best to do it as soon as the new version can be tested and installed.

I can't say that about all the packages I have to keep happy on my box.
