This PC is the main file/mail/web-server, etc., so it runs something I
don't have to update twice a year, even once a year would be seriously
annoying.  Yes, I know you shouldn't work on your server, but it's a
small LAN, and I don't want to install yet another a computer.

I'm surprised that client software is kept so old, on purpose, it
really should only have itself to depend on, I can only imagine that
newer versions can't handle older system libraries.  Server software, I
fully understand.  Other things do stay far more current, Firefox, for
instance.

I won't go down the headaches of flatpaks and their ilk.  I've already
got the pain of dealing with an appimage of MuseScore (can't print,
isn't updated with all the other software with "yum update", can't be
updated because newer versions won't run on CentOS 7, etc).  I don't
fancy having to manually look after more software, and I don't see this
version of Evolution missing any functionality, at this time.
