Those who care about the upstream version knew that this was derived from RHEL 7.0. Those who don't care about upstream versions but want to track monthly rebuilds of cloud images, etc., could distinguish between "1406" and (for example) "1407". But somewhere along the line for 7.1, the "component that maps to the upstream release" was dropped, and we got just 7 (1503). I don't recall seeing where or how that decision was made; is there a link someone can provide to the relevant discussion in centos-devel?
i dont see it being dropped, on my completely updated machine i still see the fully qualified numbering in /etc/centos-release ( as an example ) ?
