We did change the versioning, I should have mentioned it in the message.

It's not inconsistent, though, in that both are date-based, the last
indicates Apr 2017, this one indicates May 2017. We talked about this
in our last SIG meeting -- the rest of centos revs monthly, with this
same major-version.YYMM scheme, and we've switched to that scheme for
CentOS Atomic.

Our images have actually carried this 1705, 1704, 1703 number for
quite a while now, and this should make it easier for users to match
up images with the version of the tree they contain.
