Oh, well. I *do* know the difference, but it seems in this context I got 
it wrong. I'm not so sure, though, if "current" would have made a 
difference. I still think the use of "latest" and "point" (or "current") 
release is ambiguous, as these "values" shift over time. Wouldn't this be 
better (also note the second example at the end):

Starting from CentOS 5.1 the Upstream OS Provider will be providing 
updates for each minor version release (5.1.1,5.1.2 ...) for a period of 
time next to the corresponding major version release (5.1).
