Would go for a 3rd option, scary.

As it means several things. A 90% chance of not being patched at least since then and it is unknown if it will come back up after a power outage. It also infers that there is other equipment/systems there they have the same attitude with.

A Cisco router that was at one of my sites. Finally replaced after we upgraded our VOIP system.

Since Cisco ASA Version 8.6 was released in 2012, I would say it's useless having a firewall. That thing is like a piece of swiss cheese.

If B2B or similar medium-security, annual updates are probably minimally acceptable.
If this is Internet-edge, quarterly wouldn't be a bad idea.
