As with everything in life, you generally change because of a desire 
rather than a need.  Personally, I find RedHat 7.3 out-of-date, but my 
preferences are most certainly not shared by everyone.

As one example, the Visor sync would probably not be a problem with a 
newer distro.  I also much prefer KDE3 to the KDE2 that comes with 
RedHat 7.3.

Note that the Debian guys don't "upgrade" in the same sense.  Thus, 
their post-install experience is usually much nicer in this respect.

Practically every distribution has an "upgrade" option, but I tend not 
to trust them.  I think a good middle ground was mentioned here 
earlier: only upgrade between minor version numbers.
