It's probably a good thing. Adobe abandoned it so that package hasn't been updated in more than 6 years and so is vulnerable to all the exploits in acrobat that have been discovered since then.

There are plenty of alternatives to it: look at atril, qpdf, xpdf and probably others too. I think there's also a KDE pdf reader.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
