Don't upgrade and deal with security problems yourself. I ran Redhat 6.2 on
on a network connected system for several years after support ended. For
critical network facing services, I build them from up to date source.
Other stuff stayed the way it was. Later I was stuck at FC5 for a while
past EOL because of a kernel bug and kept an eye on security bug fixes to see
if I needed to update any packages to fix a problem that would apply to me.
