After they've been using linux a while, they will become better informed,
try debian for kicks, and stick with it.
Are you proposing we make debian's revision be =
$(current_redhat_revision).($debian_revision)? It nearly sounds that way. Or
do you prefer just 10$(current_debian_revision)

Of course it's subjective and arbitrary! A major release is just when you
want to say to the world, "look what we've done, it's so much better than
what we had before! Everyone, you have to upgrade and come try it!".
We don't need to write rules to govern this, it's very clear when we feel
that way.
