After having read all the detailed explanations, I still do not see good enough justifications / rationale for changing the release naming. The concept of 'supporting only the latest release' is quite simple and easy to explain to users. I don't think the current proposal would make it any easier. As Trevor said, we just say, "CentOS 6.4 is no longer supported. Please update to 6.5". On the other hand, "CentOS-6.1302 is no longer supported. Please update to CentOS-6.1311 because it is June of 2014 today" sounds a bit cumbersome. My honest feelings... Akemi
