Yes.
New releases means new features and bug fixes (trivial as they may be
sometimes) VWV. From a highly productive feature to a simple visual
effect, I personally want them. If you're fine with what you
have (ex: you don't mind lack of AA or lack of sticky windows,
things you don't use, etc...) then don't upgrade.

This is a natural cycle. I want Xft support, I want Xinerama support, I
want that CD writer functionality, I want those nicer icons, I want
those neat transparent title bars, etc... It makes a lot of us happy too.
I'm still waiting on some features for PekWM (http://www.PekWM.org) that
are only in CVS, I am itching to upgrade next release.

In other words, this is a bikeshed :)
