I think the tag Brian used in his writeup is incorrect .. I think the
cbs tag is:  core7-extras-common-release (not core7-extras-release).

So if you add the package to 'core7-extras-common-release' it will get
into the release cycle for CentOS Extras.

Don't put it in 'core7-extras-common-release' until ready, you can build
it into 'core7-extras-common-candidate' and add/tag it into
'core7-extras-common-testing' early .. but add/tag it into
'core7-extras-common-release' when ready for it to show up in the main
'CentOS Extras' tree.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
