Here's another post from another Red Hat employee who does on-site
support at my company to a question someone posed (somewhat
sarcastically I assume) on the internal linux users list that going with
the 9.0 numbering was to make RHCE's re-certify sooner:

   RHCEs should not worry that the new number scheme will mean their
   certifications age out earlier. It won't. Modified policies will be
   forthcoming on the RHCE FAQs.
