I don't really understand the function of this repository, or rather why the RPMs in it are not in the standard repository?
I read the outline at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR, and added the repository on two CentOS machines. On yum-updating some 450MB of updates were installed. Both machines appear to be running perfectly well.
Every minor version is treated as upgrade, not update. If CR packages would be added to existing updates 6.0 repository, what would people who want ONLY 6.0 do? There are many other more compelling reasons, but even this one is enough.
the vast majority of people who want "only 6.0" don't understand the centos release process. I'ld say the main reason for CR is conformance to upstream.
