CentOs, like RHEL has a 7 year life cycle, meaning they will update it
to the latest secure patches for 7 years. Typically they don't do
any upgrades that would require config changes. Off the top of my
head the only package where I did see them do an upgrade was to the
FireFox browser on a desktop install.

All of my servers are CentOs 4 and I keep a local mirror of the update server.
