Isn't that illogical ?

If there is:-

	CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso

then the next one should logically be named:-

	CentOS-7-1503-x86_64-DVD.iso

assuming sub-version numbers have been abolished by Centos.

Jumbled confusion, like CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503.iso, is messy and
illogical.

What is preventing Centos adopting a simple, neat, tidy, sensible and
logical approach ?  For example: 

{major version}-{build number}-{architecture}-{media}.iso ?

That is method I would use.

Thank you.
