i have seen way too much successful breakins in customer servers the last few years that i would ever connect a non-supported OS to WAN chroot will not help if the kernel itself is vulnerable and a low treated security bypass can often be used to trigger even local exploits in other system components and they possible bypases in systems these days are wide spreaded in my opinion i consider a outdated system as broken
