Just a comment, but what were you smoking when you listed the build numbers? I realize you started trying to 'make a funny', but dang.
BTW, for those who do buy into the fact that those could be real build numbers, it should be simple to understand by now: 4xxx builds were 10.0.x, 5xxx builds were 10.1.x, 6xxx builds are 10.2.x, and so on. If 10.5 is the next step rather than 10.3, it will still be 7xxx series of builds (1xxx, 2xxx and 3xxx appear to be build series from Rhapsody-based OS X builds. OS X Server 1.0 was probably 3xxx, with 1xxx being private internal Rhapsody builds and 2xxx being OS X DR3 which was pushed out to some developers).
I may be wrong on the 1xxx-3xxx series, since I don't have much info there

1Xxx and 2Xxx (probably also 3Xxx) were Beta builds of 10.0. The earlier builds (Rhapsody DR1, Rhapsody DR2, Mac OS X Server 1.0, 1.2) had a different version numbering (3.0v312 for example). But you're right about 4Xxx and up. Btw. I'm still in love with how it was done in the classic Mac OS, where you'd have Mac OS 9.3a3c1 for the first build of Alpha 3 of 9.3. I could tell how far the work had gone into the builds better than now. Remember System 7.7d4c3? A strange build that was. But 8.0f4c2 was fun. Turned GM as far as I can remember. Oh, and System 7.6b3 was able to erase partitions while installing.

Sorry, but it really annoys me (don't ask) when people say it was OS X DR3. It was OS X DP3! Developer PREVIEW, not Developer Release. Rhapsody may have been different, but for OS X, I know for a fact it was DP3 and DP4. Get it right!

P.S. Yes, I know HTML tags have < and > around them, but if I used those, the "tag" would be hidden.

Calm down... have a brownie...
It is difficult to nitpick over something even those at Apple got mixed up occasionally... I heard both DR and DP (which are really just two phrases for the same thing, are they not) from various close-to-Apple sources as well, (and I have gotten access to the CD) and I am just used to referring to DR rather than DP. Usually, these pre-consumer versions are released to the developer so that they can start work on ports/compatibility, hence the common usage of DR rather than DP.
Additional: I think Apple really just wanted to 'Think Different' with their titles for seed CDs
