Oh, definitely. It's not something I'd recommend ever doing for the hell of it unless you're a real masochist. Even then, it might be easier if just broke out the floggers.

All kidding aside, if the concern is just for continued security patches, there's always Rails LTS [0]. You have to pay to play, but it's cheaper than a security breach or weeks of development time. But if you're dealing with significant performance issues or looking at major feature changes/additions, it might be more effective in the long-term to consider an upgrade. You just need to be aware of just how large a project that can turn out to be.
