In a perfect world: you settle on the release you prefer and never touch 
it again (or at least you don't touch it until there is real incentive to 
do so -- it keeps OS developers honest that way).

As for upgrades getting harder the longer you wait: is it really any 
easier to upgrade four times in four years than once in four years?  (Sure 
it will be harder that one time, but what of the cumulative work of three 
upgrades.)
