RedHat using even and odd version numbers ...

Hi,

Someone has made the following assertion:

  >1. The Official version numbering system which RedHat Inc. implements
  >(the same as the kernel) is known as "even/odd", with even minor numbers
  >denote stable releases and odd - development releases. RH7.1 is not
  >considered to be a stable release.

This sounds like absolute crap. I have never heard this with respect to
RedHat.

While I admit that RH7.1 has problems, some of which I have written of,
but I think that this claim is just bogus.

However, I am willing to listen? Can anyone comment?
