Please don't propagate this idea. That is very "Windows wait for service pack 1" way of thinking.
Actually it is an 'old' Red Hat way of thinking from the pre-fedora era and was very much true for RH versions up though 7.x.
Linuxes actually go through extensive pre-release public beta testing, the kind of stuff Microsoft does on its .0 releases.
I'd say "Enterprise Linux distributions" there. It's not true for all or even most Linux distributions.
When a new CentOS release lands, it has landed.
Yes, Centos qualifies as an enterprise version. Plus something like DNS will be fixed immediately if any problems are noticed - long before an x.1 update.
