This is correct, CentOS would add an updated package somewhere (our people.centos.org site or the centos-testing repository would be the likely places).
We want our release to be the same source code where ever possible ... only changing things as required to meet trademark restrictions.
In general, is there a process for deciding whether a package is qualified for inclusion in the centosplus repo? I imagine it's something along the lines of "this package had better be well-built and important enough to break 100% binary compatibility", but I can't find anything specific in the docs. (I personally only use the XFS-related packages out of centosplus, but I can imagine wanting to watch it if other packages appear there that might be useful or interesting.)
