We don't release redhat-release in CentOS at all ... we have
centos-release instead.

We also don't release centos-release into CR, only in the new version's
main tree.  Anaconda (the package that installs CentOS) and
centos-release are the only packages from the new version that normally
are not installed in the CR.  Getting a new centos-release is how you
know you are updated to 6.4 and not running 6.3/CR.

In this case, there were a couple of other packages in 6.4 on release
day that were not released into 6.3/CR, but this is because the packages
are updates to 6.4 and were released the same day we released 6.4.  They
are:

ipa-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.src.rpm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.2.src.rpm
ruby-1.8.7.352-10.el6_4.src.rpm
tzdata-2012j-2.el6.src.rpm
xulrunner-17.0.3-2.el6.centos.src.rpm

The reason these did not go into 6.3/CR is that CentOS 6.4 was released
before we built them. Since CentOS-6.4 is released, there will be no
more updates posted in 6.3 CR.

This would mean that if you were on a fully updated 6.3/CR and upgraded
to 6.4, you would expect to see all the RPMS associated with the above 5
SRPMS, as well as centos-release and anaconda.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
