There are 3 types of updates which come out of RedHat. Security, Bugfix and Enhancements.
Security fixes are important and are normally released first, for the current 'Update' of centos (even if technically they belong to the next Update).
Bugfixes and Enhancements normally only come out in the RedHat Updates and CentOS normally releases them in the next CentOS Update. Sometimes a bugfix will come out at other times and will probably be released into the current update.

Thanks. I didn't realize it was a quarterly release. The mail from RH looked like it was simply releasing a bunch of fixes. When CentOS is ready, will I simply be able to do a 'yum upgrade' to pick up everything I need to move to the new release?
