but at the same time as the c7 will be released it'd be very important to
add to the c6 repo these packages:
preupgrade-assistant
preupgrade-assistant-contents
preupgrade-assistant-ui
redhat-upgrade-tool
since they needed for in place upgrade. but these may depend on the above
and also the c7 repo url. so imho these packages should have to added to c6
repo asap.

ps. i've never been able to run preupgrade-assistant to produce usable
output. it's always runs (for a long time) but the result table was always
empty.

pss. be careful it's version change very quickly
