That's significant. But the actual scope of changes from one release to the next will vary depending on the kinds of developments that are going on in the Open Source communities, and what kind of development Red Hat wants to contribute through Red Hat Linux development cycle. The release number is really just there to provide an identifier from one release to the next.
