No, this is simply not true. The version number is what the upstream
gives its release. No more no less. What RH does is becoming as subtly
incompatible a possible. If that's the goal, it doesn't look like free
software for me. Sure all changes are published, but why forcing this
kind of difference between linux distributions? Why not calling it 2.2.6
or something if there has to be some changes that are not compatible?
