That a system is out there with a pile of security holes and it needs to be
replaced/upgraded immediately. If for bazillion-year old application reasons
it can't be  upgraded, it will need to be severely firewalled and access
limited for security reasons.

You can most likely run bazillion-year old app on a RedHat EL v.3. There are
*compat libs that let older things run well.
