adding mere digits to the name will not help in any way. as far as I have seen in #centos, most of those who do not update stay at a particular version in time because they do do not WANT to update not because they are not familiar with the concept or the need to update. "it works as it is, we are afrain that an update might break something". what most are not familiar with are unchanged ABI and backports. But changing the naming scheme will not help with that in any way.
