Hi, Could you explain that (in like two sentences)?

It means ... up2date and rhn-applet have been modified significantly from upstream, so much that they are no longer really the same programs.

Therefore, if the upstream provider changes these programs, CentOS may or may not change them.

Obviously, we are doing updates differently than the upstream program.

Other programs (like the logos and artwork packages and indexhtml) also do not necessarily track upstream changes (meaning, change when an upstream program changes).
