(sorry about the cross post, this is vital information to get out)

The following naming conventions have been established for posts to the
CentOS-announce mailing list.  The purpose is to ensure uniformity
across products, architectures, releases etc.  This will allow easier
and simpler automated CESA (CentOS Errata and Security Advisory)
processing by end users.
