I'd argue that you should do it for minor upgrades of MySQL too. As in 5.5.X to 5.5.X+1. There have been some nasty bugs introduced in some of these point revisions recently that have caused many people to roll back to the previous version.

That's what sid users are for :-) My rule of thumb (for production gear) is: unless it fixes a bug YOU care about, or adds a feature YOU need, leave it the hell alone. Because new code = new bugs.
