CentOS - Nov 2005 - centos 4.x repo on mirrors

hi,
while all the centos 3.x release points to the 3.6 on all mirror sites, 
the 4.x series still has it's own directory. why are not these just 
links to 4.2?

I'm not really sure, but I seem to remember that the early 3.x releases
had the point release in their yum.confi (or $releasever set to 3.2 for
example), while 4.x always had "4" as $releasever.

So it's sufficient to just let 4/ point to the current version, while
on 3.x you have to be prepared that someone decides to update his 3.1
box ...

Cheers,

Ralph
