I've used that a lot in the past. However, I've found that some hosts don't update their copies on a regular basis and I've seen sites with very outdated CMSes running -- a dangerous thing when an upgrade or patch was released for security vulnerabilities. Keep in mind that 2.5.1 was released the final week (or so!) of April and it was released with security fixes! Wordpress also has a add on that will upgrade for you. I've heard of some people who have successfully used that in the past. Wish I could remember the name of it so that I could share it; I <i>think</i> it even reminds you if you have an out-of-date copy of Wordpress!
