I was asked to answer you that what they had in mind in the
[epoch].[major].[minor].[release]
scheme, 4.7.1.x being maintenance releases and 4.7.x.0 = 4.7.x being
feature releases. Also, they say that Redhat uses the same versioning
scheme for the kernels they support.
Other than that, it's a matter of subjective preferences, I guess.
My personal opinion: I don't care as long as there's a scheme to which
they actually stick to.
