The Grails development team is brave enough to make a difference in the past. I think this is a great feature - Grails does not ride dead horses.
For me, most of the changes do not seem to be too radical. In most cases, I skip 2-3 versions, and then upgrade my applications to the current stable version in less than a day. It also helps me get to know new features.
