Also bear in mind that Red Hat heavily patches and backports a lot of stuff from newer Kernels into their versions, so don't be fooled by the version number.

Enterprise company executive: "Which feature we are planning to sell to customers requires the upgrade?"
Enterprise company sysadmin: "None, it's just good practice to be up to date."
Enterprise company executive: "Hell no."
Sysadmin: "This is important, it should be a priority."
Exec: "If you work on this instead of your other assigned tasks I will have you replaced. We need feature X to reach market as soon as possible because it will boost profits 3%."
Welcome to capitalism.

Not a problem if you have a staging environment. "testing in production" (which is what you're implying) should sound like your nightmare if you've even considered whether it's possible to do things right. I assume you consider deploying on Fridays to be a good idea, what are weekends anyway, right?
