    No. The CR repo is only used at point release time. It's used to
    contain the next CentOS point release in the interval between the
    RHEL point release coming out and the GA release of the equivalent
    CentOS version a few weeks later. It's designed to allow people to
    get access to the packages from the next point release while the
    team work on creating the isos/images etc. <br>
    <br>
    It's so you don't have to wait until the isos are built etc. Means
    everyone gets access to the content a few weeks earlier than
    otherwise.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">If that's the case, should there at least be an empty repo that makes dnf happy until there's time there's actual content to be added there?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I thought it shipped disabled by default, and you explicitly had to enable if you wanted packages before the next point release was fully released. </div></div></div>
