Maybe I'm missing something, but I honestly don't see how this will help SIGs, also I'm not entirely sure that it's the best course of action to put the needs of SIGs above the core value of maintaining RHEL compatibility. Also is this supposed need to help the SIGs theoretical or is it an actual problem that we are seeing now? Can the problem be spelled out in more detail and try to find a better way to tackle it as a community?
+1 to maintaining the version numbers as they are. It's clear that the SIGs will add significant value to CentOS ecosystem, but they (IMHO) shouldn't supplant CentOS's primary asset: technical _and_ colloquial interoperability with RHEL. I think I understand the motivation for another versioning scheme, but surely there's a way to namespace everything such that it doesn't affect those who prefer the vanilla distribution.
