Note: this tree now has a centos-release that implements the scope of change we were talking about in the numbering thread. I went through quite a few permutations and what we have here seems like the best middle ground to be on. I am also going to try and circle back to some of the RH folks to make sure they are ok with how we message around where the CentOS Linux release is built from.
This change is not the majority of the community.
# rpm -q centos-release centos-release-7-1406.el7.centos.0.4.x86_64
7-1406 looks confusing... Is it possible to remove the YYMM section from centos-release rpm? All other Red Hat projects like Fedora doesn't use this strange release numbering. 1406 sounds like an Ubuntu release...
The actual rpm name isnt very different from what we have on CentOS-6, we need the last few digits for build/rebuild in testing work. but we could potentially drop those.
Overall, it's a rebuilt of RHEL 7.0. Why not call it CentOS 7.0?
And this message is quite clearly communicated in lsb_release -a; isnt it ?
