I think what people want is to keep it closely tied to the

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.
If the content is small enough, entry #1 in CentOS 7 FAQ. If not, separate wiki page also linked from FAQ #1
