Do releases have same or different on disk format?

["John Haverty" <zeio@hotmail.com>]

Do releases have the same or different on disk format? I want to start off 
with a RH71 [for reasons out of my control] box and put my own kernel on.

Say, I get the snapshot patches for 2.4.20, will this be equivalent if I 
installed XFS R1.0 on 7.1, then upgrade to 2.4.0+snapshot XFS
OR
Make my own bootable-CD, using the latest kerel+xfs and utilities, and make 
the filesystems and say rsync the system I want on there? [this does work, 
but its more time consuming]

Am I losing anything by not using the mkfs from say -current or release 1.2?
