When do you upgrade your switch and router OS's?

We perform upgrades when a serious vulnerability has been identified in an IOS we're currently running.
Also if there is a feature that we require that isn't available in the IOS we're currerntly running.
Does anyone upgrade for any other reasons?
Just for the sake of upgrading?
Upgrade reqularly to keep the process fresh and standard so that if there is a requirement to upgrade there's no big panic?
Thoughts?
Cheers.
EDIT:
How to you keep track of when you should upgrade?
We tend to keep an eye on security advisories and release notes and decide from there.
