Sigh. I can't comment about the other two, but as I've said many times
before, RH are not, and never have been playing the big number game.
Many years ago, they documented their version numbering strategy, and
have stuck to it ever since. Essentially they only increment the major
number when that release has binary incompatibilities with previous
releases.
