I am not so easily confused by the new numbering; what the ISO is named is orthogonal to what it contains, at least in my mind.
Adding the date component means CentOS may release more than one iso per RH's minor versions. There isn't much of a consistent relationship between the RH release and the subsequent Centos release other than 'sometime later when it is ready'. So, given a set of Centos isos or even just the most recent, how would you know which RH release it is based on? Download, install, and read the /etc/os-release file before finding out? Or look up some other source of the missing information?
