On one of them I had (inadvertently) enabled the CentOS-CR repository. I noticed that there were a huge number of updates (over 400 packages) from this repository yesterday.

I'm also wondering if I leave it enabled, is the danger that the system will stop running negligible? (The machine is in another country, so surgery would be difficult!)
There is very little chance it will completely break ... though with any new point release you need to test your machine.
This is basically 6.4 and it is going to be released in its entirety in less than a week to the main channel anyway.
If you already updated the current packages with CR, I would leave CR enabled as I just pushed some more security updates there (to CR) this morning and will continue to do so until we release officially release 6.4.
Thanks very much. I didn't realise it was your baby. Now I feel much safer!
