But it's very unfortunate that version numbers are reused - it can cause confusion. There was a RH 4.0 already a long ago, when the commercial and the community version were the same. I think Microsoft will avoid reusing its versions when year 2095 comes. :-) He should have written RHEL 4.0. RH 4.0 is long enough ago, though, that I think few would assume it meant the much older release. Yes. But up until RHEL 8.0/9.0 ( or plain 9 without decimals ;-) ) I can make cheap jokes telling that I can give you a free upgrade. :-) You'll find a similar thing with products like "CuteFTP 7.0" or "CuteFTP Pro 3.0". I am sure there are others, too. But enough of this OT, I am really interested in the main thread's topic.
