AFAIK, the 7(1503) format is used only on the websites, and internally CentOS uses 7.1.1503. Do you see this as an issue?
Yes. It confuses humans. There have been a bunch of examples given of how it confuses humans. A simple fix for this human issue is to use 7.1.1503 on the website, here on the mailing list, etc.
And then we’re right back in the same old boat: With every new release, the same old thread will pop up, “How do I make my servers stay on CentOS 7.1?”
Give up on the point release idea. It’s CentOS 7; there is no CentOS 7.1. The only reason there’s a YYMM part is that it’s a media respin. Best ignore that wherever practical.
So if we are to give up on the point release does that mean I don't have to update my machines until CentOS 8 comes along? ;-)
Seriously though, since I have to build my own repos (air gap) and build the images for the diskless machines the point releases are important in tracking roughly which version particular nodes are on. Running yum update on a regular basis is just not an option.
