I think that when I last upgraded all my packages, it was to Q1. For me, a
package upgrade is a big event, because I don't have much free time, and I
have to see if the upgrade broke anything (I frequently find that I have to
symlink libraries, because the upgrade doesn't replace libraries that have
the same version number but are now linked against newer other libraries).
For the same reason I haven't upgraded my Ubuntu box in a few years. So old
versions of the packages for each kernel version should be kept around.
