I'm a little on the fence on this matter myself. Basically, I'd like upgrading
to add as little as possible, to secure as problem-free procedure as possible.
While this would mean the user might be unaware of certain additions to the new
release, I'm guessing they might still prefer the functionality of their system.

Besides, aren't Release Notes for informing of changes and new features in a
release? :)

I'm supposing that's the recommendation that's always been there.
