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>
