Well, there's user-space and user-space. A part of the user space is kernel/system oriented, like fsck.* or util-linux (mount, chattr!) configuration tools or user-space parts of drivers, and there's a part of user-space that is unrelated.
If the kernel related stuff (which usually is in /sbin) needs to be updated, that's fine even for a "stable" kernel. If the new reiserfs-progs fix a problem of an older version, then by all means go fix and update Documentation/Changes. There could be a new "recommended" column though which lists non-critical version updates.
