@maverick_slo not always the case.. While sure its good idea to keep your software updated, but if there are no bug fixes to address an issue your seeing, or security fixes that are of concern, or new features you want. There is nothing pushing to running a newer version when your current version is working fine.
Ever hear the term if its not broke, don't fix it ;)
Normally when a new version of pfsense comes out, the packages normally get an update along with that. But they don't always push updates to packages unless the package maintainer updates it, or there is some sort of security issue, etc.
