I would suggest that you don't invest the time doing this, and here's why.  Freezing an AMI like this involves a load of arbitrary decisions (e.g., Why CentOS instead of Amazon Linux?  Why PostgreSQL instead of MySQL?).  At each decision, you're carving off a segment of potential users from a base that must already be incredibly small.  Say there's still some interest left, though—who is going to keep this current?  When a security vulnerability is patched in CentOS, are you going to re-roll this?  (All these questions are rhetorical, by the way!)  The most likely scenario is that in 18 months we've got a repeat of WOlastic on our hands—when that went stale, it took time and effort to kill off, and I haven't checked lately but I think the AMI itself is _still_ available, though the website is dead.

Having said all that, if I haven't discouraged you and you're really keen, I can certainly help you do it.  :-)
