If it's not broken, dont fix it
Great philosophy as long as you don't want to use modern software that takes advantage of features in more recent kernels.

DYI proxmox akso deopped openvz for much the same reason, the now use LXCI think the OpenVZ platform itself is tied to the 2.6 kernel. So I don't think you can upgrade the kernel without moving to another release of OpenVZ. Micro$oft would call it a "feature." Try finding an OpenVZ platform that is not 2.6-based just for grins. It's the reason we ditched Proxmox way back when.
The security issues really don't matter much for Incredible PBX and other platforms that use the Travelin' Man 3 whitelist firewall because the bad guys can't even see your server. Personally, we don't use OpenVZ for public web servers because port 80 is exposed. But, for PBXs with a whitelist firewall, it doesn't much matter... and it's dirt cheap.
I love your confidence Ward, historically however way too many navies have been destroyed by not thinking geek fire (sic). was a real problem ;-), complacency will always be trumped by a wise virgin's candle. I apologise for the mixed metaphors but just wait . . .@dicko: 100% agree where a server is used for public access of any kind. However, at least for Incredible PBX servers that use Travelin' Man 3 with its whitelist-based firewall, there is almost zero risk of intrusion from strangers so the usual kernel-based rules for portscan/portflood and ipset are unnecessary since the bad guys can't even see the server. And that's why these servers are such a great deal for VoIP implementations.
