Hello

I agree. The CR-Repo is very much appreciated and - imho - should have a place in the mainline repo.
This might also take some load off of the mirrors during point release time (as most packages from /os
are already updated via /cr - for those who use it. Did I get that one right?)
Changing my mirrorlayout should be no problem.

all the best
