Adding the date component means CentOS may release more than one iso
per RH's minor versions.  There isn't much of a consistent
relationship between the RH release and the subsequent Centos release
other than 'sometime later when it is ready'.   So, given a set of
Centos isos or even just the most recent, how would you know which RH
release it is based on?  Download, install, and read the
/etc/os-release file before finding out?   Or look up some other
source of the missing information?
