I am very much tempted not to because it works under lower loads, could just put it on a faster server, but how could I pass up the chance to write my own CMS (well, a better one than the previous ones I've done)? That's like a rite of passage. But yes, the irony isn't lost on me, I just had to go for that title.

If you have to write your own CMS, make it compile to static files. I did that with Django, used Django-distill, and it's hands down the best static site generator I've ever used. My site never needs updates and never goes down under any amount of load.

If you are using open source you can always support your own old versions ~joking but not really~

Of course security updates are very hard, but if an old version has some good community you have the option of forking or upstreaming the updates yourself
