The problem is when it doesn't work anymore, the work load to move to a newer version is that much greater.
That's my point. If it just kept working, there would be no problem.
Keeping the version within spitting distance of the latest supported version, to me, is a good idea.
As much as people love to complain about how useless PCI DSS is (see the recent thread on TDE), there's one benefit: ensuring that companies keep computers patched and running supported software.
