CentOS should do whatever RHEL/Upstream does.
Period.
I sometimes misguide myself in doing; CentOS = RHEL, but the truth is, that CentOS is not exactly the same as RHEL!
Why the change now? It really does matter, a lot, to those of us who need to do compliance testing/security checks, etc. all based on "version" number. I know there is no such thing in practice because of all the non-sequential updates that happen, but there's a shit-ton of work that we have to do for each new release, and we have depended in the past on the versions matching the RHEL ones. Now, they don't, and that's wrong.
It seems like a minor thing, but in real-world practice it is most definitely not.
As stated by others - this provisioning concept never was supported by CentOS.
