It is EOLed. That is all fixes to 5.2 are 5.3.

So there is little choice unless you take on the whole management issue.

BTW, I had some systems that would simply NOT do an install with the 5.2 
boot CD. I HAD to install with 5.1 then upgrade them to 5.2. So I only 
recently finally pulled my local 5.1 repo.

No security fixes. And the cool kids on the block will laugh at you.

Your hair will fall out and your ears will ring constantly.

You will gain weight that no amount of dieting and exercise will be able to
get rid of.

You will be the laughing stock of all the cool CentOS kids.

Hackers will infiltrate your systems and set up free porn sites.

The porn will be really lame and crappy and full of viruses and rootkits.

Look at today's announcement.  Now I don't know if the security bugs 
fixed where in the old 5.2 kernel or only in the newer 5.3 kernel, but 
it makes that point about staying current with a distro.

All of my servers use C5.2 as OpenVZ HN
I use vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2 kernel
All containers are C5.2
Upgrading may not be possible/feasible

Pray?
There must be an upgrade path for OpenVZ systems, you just have to take more
steps.

is the latest kernel at OPenvz. It is dated today.
