And just look at the confusion -- because the website almost never
mentions 7.1.1053 or 7.2.1511, it can be really hard to understand
this discussion -- one person using "7.1" and "7.2" and the other
using "7.2.1511". Good thing the 2nd person didn't use "7 (1511)",
like the website does.

Oh, wait: CentOS, love it or leave it.
