Yes. We do have releases like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4. Those are very
much supported and will be for distant future.

Then there are update releases like CentOS-3.6 and CentOS-4.2 which are
just 'snapshots of updates so far'. CentOS-3/4 are really continuosly
updated and supported.

The difference is that CentOS-3/4 are long time maintained
distributions while Fedora Core released are pretty much outdated in
a year.


So when we talk about 'removing the CentOS-4.1', it's only about
removing the previous snapshot installation and it's incremental
updates, which are included, or replaced with later updates, in
CentOS-4.2 tree (which will be replaced with CentOS-4.3 tree which will
be replaced with CentOS-4.4 tree etc. etc.)
