So if you think you're server will be updated/replaced before 2020,
you're probably fine.
I'll probably be pushing daisies by that time....

RHEL has 10 year standard life/support cycles.
RHEL5 was released in 2007, RHEL6 in 2010 and RHEL7 in 2014.

That doesn't happen as soon as you might think. I still get
regular updates on CentOS 5.11; so THAT horse ain't dead yet,
even though it's supposedly been EOS for a while now.
For all practical purposes, 6.x will probably continue getting
updates for at least 5 years. That's probably longer than the
life of the server.
In another year or so, I would be comfortable with 7, and it
will have more widespread support, and fewer bugs.

I would do 7 just because of the support nature of it. There
will become a time, sooner than 7, that 6 will no longer
receive updates. Bite the bullet and do it now. CentOS7 has
a little bit of a learning curve. Gone are the init scripts
replaced by sys control. This is the biggest change folks
have to get used to.

There seems to be a fair bit of dissatisfaction with
RHEL7/CentOS 7. I'm building a couple new servers,
if my others are running CentOS 6 and do what I
need, should I resist the temptation to jump to 7?
I think CentOS 6 EOS dates are 2017 for full updates
and 2020 for maintenance updates?
I know some people will say switch to Ubuntu or
Debian or whatever, let's assume I am staying with
CentOS, I'm just asking 6 or 7?
