I believe "out of date" is the wrong wording. RHEL/CentOS 5 is maintained,
i.e. security issues and bugs are fixed. There's nothing "out of date"
about a tool that works and is cost-effective. RHEL 6 still has to prove
itself.
In my day job I support dozens of developer desktops that run CentOS 5 with
a modified kernel supporting non-standard devices. It takes a few hours a
week. Trying to track the bleeding edge supporting, say, Ubuntu would take
much more time.
