That was my position as well. However since moving our rman repository to 10.2 I'm finding that the status of the 10.2 backups in the recovery catalog views is incorrect. Specifically

select db_name,operation,status
from rc_rman_status
where start_time > sysdate -1
and operation = 'BACKUP'
order by 1,start_time desc;

doesn't return the correct status for earlier release databases.
