The problem with RHEL backporting security fixes (and Debian to a lesser extent) almost makes version numbering irrelevant too, though.

Agreed, even more so because RedHat doesn't just backport security fixes, but also features (one example is the btrfs stuff in RHEL6, which, according to a developer, is from Linux ~3.8 IIRC).
