Maybe safe-of-the-art. It is stable (and old) which is the way many people like their servers. But, it certainly isn't the latest and greatest.

The entire point of RHEL/CentOS is that it isn't bleeding edge; it will certainly be modern though. I think it's rather unfair to call it "old" though; the latest release was in March.
