The reason why we only have baseurl pointing to mirror.centos.org is 
that we dont expect cr/ to be around for a long time. I think its a safe 
assumption that 5.7 should be ready for release in a few days time from 
here.

The CR only contains rpms from the next-release, so once that release is 
online we want to drop the CR/ completely and have everyone move over ( 
via a yum update ) to using the new rpms in 5.7/; it also means that 
there will be no continued updates to the 5.6/cr/ once 5.7 is around and 
online.

Let me know if any of that isnt very clear and I will try to explain in 
more details
