Sure. :o) But it's nice to know that you can leave your system  
running until 2012 if you wanted too and still get security updates  
till then. Of course you can always do the CentOS 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> etc.  
upgrades. At least you won't have to upgrade every 1.5 years to keep  
receiving security updates. On my desktop I want the latest apps, I  
chose FC5. I don't like to upgrade my servers every 6 months, I chose  
CentOS 4.
