why are older versions of openbsd (or linux or whatever os) kept around?

is it because some of the older versions may work better with older
machines? for instance, i recall that our 486 and p120 did really well
with slackware 8. we're going to get some 486s going again - should i
use an older version of openbsd?

also, do some people like to stick with what is tried and true? our
home servers (p800) are running openbsd 3.9 beautifully. i want to try
openbsd 4.0 on my personal machine and wonder whether i should change
to 4 on the servers just to stay current.
