> Why and when to UPGRADE the kernel?

Basically, when you need to.
I lived with 2.6.16 until two weeks ago, and before 2.6.16 I lived with
2.6.12 much longer.

If you don't feel the need of a new kernel, I don't see any reason to
upgrade.

I usually upgrade when something needs it, when I feel it would be an
improvement or, more simply, I take the occasion to upgrade when I have
to recompile: but it's just me. I did upgrade to 2.6.18 just because I
upgraded to gcc 4.1 and having to recompile the kernel, I also upgraded,
but I could have happily lived recompiling 2.6.16.
