Exactly, and my S2 is such a modern flagship device
If you're really keen to get 4.4 then OmniRom already has a "stable(ish)" nightly for the S2. It is very light on features at the moment, but it does allow for OTA updates. And switching to ARM from Dalvik is insanely fast and smooth. I had it on my Note 2 for a while but the lack of features led me back to CM10.2...

Thanks, I installed an earlier CM11 ROM but there haven't been updates since the 18th Nov. Think I'll just hold my breath until there are official nightlies as the ROM I'm using is actually pretty stable.

Yesterday I changed my Samsung Galaxy S3 (International) from stock 4.1.2 to Cm 10.2 (4.3.1) and the problem I am currently having is my battery is getting chowed like crazy, I was expecting the Cm ROM to be more power efficient than the stock ROM but this is defiantly not the case and my battery lasts much longer on the stock ROM that I had.
Also I think I found a bug, but I'm not quite sure: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/83713-cm-102-performance-profile-not-working/
Anyone have any tips for improving battery life for me please? Otherwise I think I will be going back to a stock ROM.
Lots of other people complaining about the poor battery life aswell:

Anyone else having problems, or noticing poorer battery life?

CM should give you excellent battery life, but bugs do creep in. I'm running a CM11 ROM and battery life is awesome.

It's absolutely terrible for me, far worse than stock ROM. Not sure what is the problem.

Google Play Services sometimes causes crazy battery drain.

Try switching over to carbon rom. I was also running CM10.2 and noticed a significant battery drain. Then read about carbon and switched over, the battery life is much better.

Official CM11 nightlies are out. No i9100 yet but there are two other GS2 releases (bastards).

I'm running the stable V1.8... I'm not sure how good the night lies are, but this rom is good enough and has more features than CM.

I am new to the whole "modding" experience. I took the plunge & used the CM installer to install CM 10.2.20131114 Snapshot on my S3 about 2 weeks back.
I see that a new release version is out 10.2. Do I update using the installer again or is their another way to install the latest release. If I check for updates via the phone it says that there are no updates available.

The CM installer has it's on range of roms, different from what's on their website. I found this quiet odd, but they say there will be an update soon. Just download the new rom and flash it onto your device.

THanks, since I am staying with CM do I need to wipe data/cache etc before installing updated ROM?

You should only have to do a full wipe when moving between different Android versions (e.g. upgrading from cm10.1 to cm10.2 or cm11). When moving between versions you should also always use the correct gapps version.

It would be advisable to do that. I tend to keep away from dirty flashing.

Better thread to post this in, with installing CM I now don't have the option to select EAP Fast mode when trying to connect to my corporate Wifi, anyone else had this issue and resolved it somehow? You seem to lose a few Wifi connection options by moving from stock to CM

How's the battery life on the stable cm10.2 on i9300??
I think I have a bug on the latest stable 10.2 for the i9300.
Can someone try to replicate please:
Go to dialer -> Call history -> Select a number that is not in your contacts -> Add to contacts -> Start typing in "find contacts".
Contacts crashes: "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped".
Not fantastic for me. Struggling to get through the day.

Yip, I have the same issue with 10.2 on my S3.
