As you can see, the minor numbers also match in the list (6.3 matches 6.1206) ... it's very easy to see that there are 6, 7, 7, 8, and 9 months between releases, etc.
Thoughts?
After having read all the detailed explanations, I still do not see good enough justifications / rationale for changing the release naming.
The concept of 'supporting only the latest release' is quite simple and easy to explain to users. I don't think the current proposal would make it any easier. As Trevor said, we just say, "CentOS 6.4 is no longer supported. Please update to 6.5". On the other hand, "CentOS-6.1302 is no longer supported. Please update to CentOS-6.1311 because it is June of 2014 today" sounds a bit cumbersome.
My honest feelings...
Yet another +1
If a change is REQUIRED, that change should happen upstream in RHEL and then filter down to CentOS - i.e, if RHEL-7.1406 were to be released then a change to CentOS-7.1406 would make sense.
