Why upgrade from 10.1-RELEASE to 10.2-RELEASE?

Is there a good reason to update if everything's working fine with 10.1?

My primary concern is the EoL date, and it's currently December 31, 2016 for both of them.

I see a fair number of hardware errors with 10.2, and we have some weird hardware, so I'd rather not update if there's no significant benefit to it.

I note that 10.1 is considered to be an "Extended" release, whereas 10.2 is "Normal". Should that affect my decision? Should I wait and see if 10.3 will be Extended and then upgrade?

Obviously, in any case, I will keep the patch levels up-to-date.

Nope. Don't try to fix what isn't broken ;)

Recently the support period changed but I think this will be from 11.0-RELEASE onward. The 'old' support model had extended support for 'odd' numbered minor versions, like .1 and .3. So expect 10.3-RELEASE to have extended support (2 years).
