RHEL is much better about that, although by now the "production" RHEL 5 is 4 years out of date, the "leading edge" RHEL 6 is now one year out of date after the lengthy release testing, and CentOS will always lag that.
I believe "out of date" is the wrong wording.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 There's nothing "out of date" about a tool that works and is cost-effective.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.
RHEL provides 10 year support cycle, I hope Centos can do same :)
Not a problem. CentOS dies then you just change the repositories in yum and force update. RedHat have knowingly provided support for 'adopted' servers in the past for us.
