I think what people want is to keep it closely tied to the upstream identification.
yes, which is what this achieves.
No, it doesn't. Close to upstream means 7.0 and not 7-0-core-1406.
CentOS 7.0 will reflect RHEL 7.0 codebase / code age. Based on upstream.
CentOS 7-0-core-1406 will confuse many people.
The confusion could be solved by a little table on the CentOS web site showing the matching identifiers. Then again, if it is a 1:1 correspondence, why change it at all? Just make the table showing the dates.... Or look at the timestamp on the file the way you usually find dates when things were done.
this is a great idea, I will write up something that expands on the numbering and also use that as something to point people working with variants and alternative media at.
was going to do something for the release announcement, but having it more visible on the website and often linked ( maybe a readme in centos-release ? ) might be a great ( and easy ) win.
