That's all well and good, but how about you actually include the minor
number AND the release date? I.e. 7.3-1104 for CentOS 7.3 released today,
for example. I'm all for the SIGs to keep track of their own upstreams,
but surely there's a better way to do this that doesn't annoy the heck out
of us Joe-Blows out here. A lot of us don't have the time (or inclination)
to deal with oddball version discrepancies when there really doesn't need
to be.
I mean, there are dozens of Ubuntu distros and they all use the same basic
versioning schemes. (Maybe not a completely fair example, but still.)
Isn't the idea with CentOS to be a method of generating a larger testing
base and interest in RHEL and it's products? If not, that's how I've
always seen it, incorrect or not.
