As one who consistently and conscientiously reads *every* forum post, in
reverse chronological order, every day of the year it is important -- to me
-- that I have a visible indication of the CentOS version before I even open
the thread (to read the post(s)).

My reason for stating this point? So that a decision is not made to change
the working (& structure) of the fora just to increase the CentOS page
rankings, returned by a search engine, without giving serious consideration
to the users of the fora.
