That doesn't happen, because as each new upstream release is done, the 
numbers are reset. The most you get is 4xx (when there is a rawhide, 
branched and two supported releases or rawhide and three supported releases).

I vaguely remember that conversation, but I am pretty sure it came up 
that we can reset the numbers with each kernel release, so that they 
don't keep increasing forever.
