<matrix mode>"There is no 6.3"</matrix mode> ..
One thing you have to realize is that there is only CentOS 6, and
minor releases that combine security/bugfixes at a "certain point in
time".
So take whatever CentOS 6.x distro, do a "yum update" on it and it
will automatically jump to $actual_version (so 6.6+packages updated
post 6.6 release)

Of course, one can argue that he can just "stick" with a particular
release (by modifying yum or even not running yum update at all) but
then it's another game, as it means no security update[s] at all, with
all the possible consequences ..
