Oh, wait: CentOS, love it or leave it.
Correct.
In fact, I would prefer you leave.
Really?
This is what we're dealing with now?
OK. I will recommend we move away from CentOS.
This seems to be raising what to me is a trivial issue to an absurd level of hostility. Johnny Hughes' comment was uncharacteristically harsh; and yours is even harsher.
To me, CentOS is a highly stable OS for my home servers, and I am eternally grateful to Johnny Hughes and his colleagues for carrying out what looks to me like an impossibly complex task.
The numbering of packages is a very small part of this. On the other hand, a kernel panic would be very worrying to me if it were in fact likely to happen. I am glad to hear that I have no need to worry.
