False. There were two sets of RedHat 7.0. The original had
SERIOUS security holes so they cut an updated set for 7.0 referred
to as the "respin". The 7.0 originals were out for several months
and, contrary to popular belief, some were found on the shelves in
boxed products. I'm not aware of other examples, but this one
does exist.
