  Again: Red Hat's long-standing policy on version numbers is that the major
number gets bumped when they break binary compatibility.  This typically
means a new version of GCC or the GNU C library has been introduced (or
both).  Problems (or lack thereof) in previous releases have no direct
influence on this.
