There is certainly value in having GA / ISO matching images in most
places as well, for those - adding the point qualifyer makes sense. But
I think the default image we recommend people adopt should just be the
CentOS-<Release>-<datestamp> one, also available as
CentOS-<Release>-latest; So people getting onboard, get the best
possible experience, and those who know what they are doing and still
want a GA inline release, can get it - by jumping through a hoop or two.
