you could always switch to SciLinux if you wish!
or if you want to spend some money, go for the real thing - get RHEL or 
want a cheaper service with almost no support potential, get Oracle's 
offering.

or, if you like - keep running vulnerable machine on wbel.

the choice is ultimately yours, its a free world, and they are your 
machines.

No one makes money or has any commercial agenda in CentOS, the only 
reason why I would recommend it so strongly, is that I know its there as 
a project, there is a great community around it ( and hey, SciLinux does 
as well, but they are doing something slightly differently ).
