In terms of a personal use, that is absolutely fine. From the perspective of a developer, you cannot stop a user from upgrading to newer versions. Perhaps it is a matter of personal taste; I'm worried more about adapting to latest versions than maintaining old versions. If the new versions works fine, I will remove all the old versions. I have never run into troubles in which I have no choice but to use the old version of R.
