Is there a commercial motive for this 'unwelcome by most' change ?
If Centos is the same as RHEL then RH can loose valuable sales income because customers, actual and potential, use free Centos. However if Centos version numbers are vastly different from RHEL version numbers and there is no reliable method of equating Centos sub-versions with RHEL sub-versions, RH gains extra sales because of the uncertainty of Centos being 'just like' reliable RHEL.
Indeed. And some conspiracy theorist might add this happened after CentOS "marrying" RH (well, getting tighter relations that is) ;-)
Just a joke to put down everybody's fighting mood (or likely switching fire onto myself ;-(

Just a casual thought.
