I see that CentOS-CR.repo is included with the centos-release package, however there is no CR repo to be found at the location it has at the base url:

[cr]
name=CentOS-$releasever - cr
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/cr/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial

$ dnf repolist 
CentOS-8 - AppStream                                                                   173 kB/s | 5.6 MB     00:33    
CentOS-8 - Base                                                                        976 kB/s | 5.3 MB     00:05    
CentOS-8 - cr                                                                          222  B/s | 239  B     00:01    
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'cr'

My assumption was that the AppStream repo was going to replace the CR repo, is that correct? I'm wondering if that repo file was added accidentally?

Thanks-
