No. I've skipped versions when I've seen more trouble with fresh installs and upgrades reported than I think reasonable. The only time I ever had a problem with an upgrade it was because the upgrade program hung, leaving things in an unstable state. It's safe to skip one version, but more than one can be very, very problematic.
