We are currently reworking how we do SCLs in CentOS.

We are going to be doing them all in a SIG, see this link:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL

I will try to specifically build the security updates for those packages
now (and maintain Security updates for SCLs already released), but
expect SCL support to shift to that SIG in the near future.
