    Most of the previous updates are related to security. If you updated to the latest Wordpress, that means your blog is more secured. I'd recommend you upgrade ASAP. I also don't encourage you to tell the world that your blog isn't using the latest version of Wordpress. Some hackers might take advantage of the vulnerabilities of your blog.

    hacker can figure out your WP version even you don't tell it.
    And its always a good practice to keep renew your WP version

    Trust me, that'll save you so much time. I'm using it in my blog and it only takes me about 2 minutes to update my blog to the latest wordpress version.

    How well does that plugin work when you turn on the setting to make it update itself?

    There will be a link from your dashboard whenever a new version of Wordpress is out. All you need to do is click the link. The Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin will deactivate your plugins, backup your blog, download the latest Wordpress, install it, then enable all your plugins. It will take you less than a minute to finish the upgrade and all you do is click links.
