If all you want is security updates then you may want to check out: http://fedoralegacy.org/ which does provide some support for EOL'd RH & Fedora stuff. The only compelling reason to upgrade IMHO would be if there's a feature/killer app/whatever in the newer release that you feel you can't live without. Personally, I feel that core 3 is shaping up nicely if my experience with test 2 is any indication.
