People like to stay on the lowest firmware they can in case of future exploits, and a lot of people(myself included) only got into homebrew recently.
The rule of thumb is that you don't update until you're sure that everything is okay and homebrewers give the go-ahead. It's also in the hope that something shows up that we may not have found until much later. It's unlikely but still a possibility.
There was a ARM11 Kernal sploit "scare". It was real (I think that's what I read, idk) but it wasn't an exploit. Just a vuln, and no exploit to get us their so yeah no use unless @MassExplosion213 has made only progress. Hope that helps.

a better question is why rush to update to 10.x. do you have money burning a hole in your pocket so you need to buy a eshop game . . . "you can give it to me instead
"they stay on 9x inhope. hope that they can forget the system for like a year and come back to find all kinds of tweaks for it like i did my psvita
Honestly, for the answer to this, just check 3dbrew. See what all was patched. And then realize this. The "elites" have a lot of private stuff. Would they really tell you that their exploit was patched? No. There's always unreported updates and fixes.

Was the 9.2 kernel exploit disclosed? Not until after someone publicly found it. So yes, it is true. But I won't say much more on this. I don't wanna hype things.
I have that new multiplayer Zelda game on pre-order on the eShop. So I need to be on the latest firmware.a better question is why rush to update to 10.x. do you have money burning a hole in your pocket so you need to buy a eshop game . . . "you can give it to me instead

Just sayin, be checking that iso site next week. There may be a "special" upload."secret" huh so that's the smell
The secrets are driving everyone nuts. Still I can understand why some of it would be kept secret.

It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
