I concur - I know some who are happy with things staying as they were
in 1980.
I know more who prefer reasonably current toolkits - many get
frustrated when obligated to work on older installs (the 'stable' but
somewhat ancient ones in particular) which may have packages a few
years older than current.
And its not just kernels, libraries and compilers but applications
too. (e.g TeXlive without biblatex, openoffice without docx etc etc).
