Is there a need to upgrade beyond WordPress 1.5.1.2 in near future?

I looked at the proposed feature set summary for WordPress 1.6. Mostly UI changes, few extra plugin hooks etc.

None of the features looks compelling enough to upgrade. At this point I will hold of on any upgrade till I get some killer features incorporated in some future versions.

The fact is with WP 1.5.1.2 and the plethora of WordPress plugins I use, there isn’t much more I expect from a blogging platform. Few things which I still want are outside the domain of light-weight CMS like WordPress.

What are your thoughts? Is there any killer feature you would like to see in future versions of WordPress?

I think there is definitely a need to upgrade in order to curb vulnerabilities. But I’m tired of having to keep up with the never-ending updradading work. :/

@Tom
Mostly little things like the title of the post.
I too think WP is rather well optimized SEO wise.

@Eliott
I just created a small patch for 1.5.1.3 update for 1.5.1.2 users.

Why not patch the security issues independently of feature releases?

WP development recently has very much declined in quality. New releases are riddles with bugs and then bugfix release after release are issues. Things are breaking everywhere with even minor changes. It appears non-Object Oriented development of WordPress is finally catching up with it.

Yes, because there is a 1.5.3 security update coming soon. Even WP has bugs…

Guys,

how would you improve WP for SEO, if you could?

Just curious (’cos I happen to think it is quite good for seo as it is),
