Not strictly necessary but it could be good :)
My very very short list: getting back from Kde 2.3 (on Kondara) to Kde 2.2
was painful because 2.3 had...

1) Features
Better CSS support in Konqueror
Kmail allowed you to have fonts for all the headers
Konqueror didn't break loading pages without an .htm or .html extension

2) Bugfixes
Anti-alias didn't break down randomly (and in konsole as well)
Font support didn't break down randomly giving you fonts you don't want
Konsole (IIRC) didn't left "dirty spots" on the screen using anti-aliased 
fonts

I admit that Debian Kde mantainer did a very good job, since this is
the most stable install of Kde 2.2 I've ever seen (Kde 2.2's kicker from
Mandrake did crash one day yes and the second too as well, forcing me to
restart it via alt-f2).

Anyway, that's only a list for which any kde user could appreciate a 
supplement of woody packages with the latest release of kde :), actually
using Kde 2.2 is good enough.
