yup, bit of a change with the upstream people adopting this whole

over the next day or so, I shall try and get a document that explains
this whole thing.
Before CentOS 5 x86, I was using Scientific Linux 4 and they were
keeping 4.x trees (e.g. 4.0, 4.1 etc) and for having an upgrade to the
latest tree automatically, we were using a plug in or something
(installed as an rpm). Those without that rpm were kept to their release
(tree) and were getting only the updates for their release (4.0, 4.1 and
so on). At the same time, I remember (either saw at the CentOS site, or
someone mentioned it in the SL mailing list), that CentOS was keeping up
only with the latest release (tree) of Red Hat EL4.
So I am not sure the tree issue (x.y) did not exit before. I haven't
understood the new x.y.z scheme though.
