Should I say yes ?
Keep getting the update message for 23.21.17 for my Moto G (1st generation) that includes Lollipop 5.1.
This is my wife's phone and she has very few apps loaded over stock & uses it mainly for social media stuff apart from calls (a light user) She seems quite happy with what is on there now (kitkat) so do not want to upset her experience if the issues I read about have not yet been ironed out. Thoughts appreciated. |

KitKat is pretty solid / reliable, so if your wife likes how it works now then there is no need to update.
There is a security flaw currently being exploited using Multimedia messaging, named "stagefright", this is unlikely to be patched in KitKat. My personal favourite new feature in Lollipop is the lock screen notifications. If you do decide to upgrade, you may find it beneficial to do a factory reset afterwards in order to get the phone stable, your apps should re-install automatically but any local (offline) messages, contacts and photos may be lost. |

5.1 won't fix it, in the mean time ;
