Do you mean that RedHat 6.2 has more security patches than RedHat 7? I was
under the impression that RedHat released the same patches for both systems
if they existed on both systems and that RH7 was not more secure than 6.2.

I'm still running 6.2 in various incarnations on most of my systems and I use
red-carpet to keep them up to date on patches. I haven't noticed any glaring
errors yet.
