+1 to maintaining the version numbers as they are. It's clear that the
SIGs will add significant value to CentOS ecosystem, but they (IMHO)
shouldn't supplant CentOS's primary asset: technical _and_ colloquial
interoperability with RHEL. I think I understand the motivation for
another versioning scheme, but surely there's a way to namespace
everything such that it doesn't affect those who prefer the vanilla
distribution.
