While it is recommended to update this to Redhat 7.2+patches, it is actually
possible to keep a 6.2 system secure because Redhat still provides security
updates for 6.2. I'm still running a Redhat 5.2 (!!) machine, and keeping it
quite secure (of course it gets very messy, because Redhat 5.2 did not even
include "obvious" stuff like openssl, and has a 2.0.* kernel!)
