<thought> minor version vs rolling Everything - this implies that the origin base has one root - but thats not the case (pragmatically speaking). There is still a "rebase" or at least a incompatibility between the minor versions (as shown recently 7.0->7.1 for kernel modules) and stated in the list by Johnny (different context, for EL6):
<quote>"As far as what kernel is designed for which release ... every point release (minor version) will have its own kernel branch associated with it..."</quote>
There exists more examples where this "borders" are important. So, breaking the borders between the minor releases will make the things more intransparent. Rolling it within a minor release is still great. </thought>
