You are correct, and this brings up another question... will the
version number of the next Red Hat Linux remain secret as it has in
the past, or will it be released as part of the newly-open schedule?
If the future version number (10 or X or 10.0 or 9.1 or whatever the
choices are) were made known, this would help out people at projects
like
http://www.fedora.us, who have to think very carefully about the
naming scheme for their packages, so they can upgrade nicely while
still being compatible with Red Hat's.
I've been told in the IRC channel that it will be released to the
community when it is decided upon. Release number/name are decided
very late in the game.
