5	Basically, when you need to.
6	I lived with 2.6.16 until two weeks ago, and before 2.6.16 I lived with
7	2.6.12 much longer.
8
9	If you don't feel the need of a new kernel, I don't see any reason to
10	upgrade.
11
12	I usually upgrade when something needs it, when I feel it would be an
13	improvement or, more simply, I take the occasion to upgrade when I have
14	to recompile: but it's just me. I did upgrade to 2.6.18 just because I
15	upgraded to gcc 4.1 and having to recompile the kernel, I also upgraded,
16	but I could have happily lived recompiling 2.6.16.
