No need for a different thread, Michal's link says it all: CentOS 5 will
have security updates (even if limited to "important" security updates)
until 2017. The latest release of CentOS 5 is 5.11 from September 2014
(so, more recent than the most recent OpenOffice version). That said, I
have nothing against bumping our baseline when appropriate (i.e., not in
4.1.x) if there are valid reasons for it.

If I understand correctly,
Good news. One of my concerns has been with the CERT advisories that
have emerged concerning glibc, now up to before version 2.21.
No need to have concerns, about version of packages in enterprise linux.
Packages have different version number than upstream. Example:
glibc 2.10+6168464, but this package may contain security issues founded
from 2.21+
And, of course we should check out our other needed sources -- openssl,
etc. Hopefully I can get to that soon and report back.
I think that we are using lot of ours own libraries (and bundle it to
package), which are different from libraries in operating system.
"external_dep" is that .. (openssl 0.9.7? which is absolutely different
form Cent 5 ssl library).
