May be the fear of incompatibility with the current active plugins lead the WordPress users to avoid upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress. Michael Adams developed and launched a beta of a new “Compatibility” feature in the plugin directory, powered by your votes to make WordPress core, plugin, and theme upgrades as painless as possible.

Yesterday on 27th October,2009 WordPress launched this new feature and this is now in Beta stage.
