I have managed with .htaccess + addition from master htaccess, which provide extra protection,
http://docs.joomla.org/Htaccess_examples_%28security%29
JHackGuard free
Admin Exile so hackers cant get to admin login.
Eyesite as defence if I get hacked to detect new or changed files.

Then I use KeePass for storage of password and usernames to protect from spyware.
I also have Linux as reserve if the site is hacked so I can administer the site from Linux as it is virusfree.

What i understand joomla 1.5 is still safe as many people are still using it. New joomla may also have exploits.
If people want to continue using 1.5 i don't see why joomla can't keep supporting it?

I have not heard of any vulnerabilty yet, but 2.5 and 3,0 seems to have such as there are upgrades constantly. The drawback with 1.5 is that extensions for it vanishes from extension list, which is bad because they should be kept.

I am pretty dissapointed at the upgrade policy of Joomla. Never thought anyone could invent anything like this. You have to use a third party extension that only makes a partial upgrade and you need a lot of extra work. They should construct a upgrade that dont need third party extension and Joomla should provide the upgrade in itself. Their upgrade policy is a Joomla killer.

I remember upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5 and it was a big improvement. I don't see the big improvement with 3.0. Every version is like a new operating system with whole bunch of new bugs and quirks to figure out to make it work.

I have only used Joomla for 2 years, but I have used PHP-Nuke for 8 years. For PHP-Nuke an upgrade was just to upload the files and then run an upgrade script for the database. Thought Joomla was something similar. Big mistake!

In your big list of url I see you did not mention
Vel.joomla.org
If you think that there are no issues with 2,5 3.x then you should visit developer.joomla.org/security
