[CentOS] How long between RH updates & CentOS updates?

[John Newbigin]

There are 3 types of updates which come out of RedHat.  Security, Bugfix 
and Enhancements.

Security fixes are important and are normally released first, for the 
current 'Update' of centos (even if technically they belong to the next 
Update).

Bugfixes and Enhancements normally only come out in the RedHat Updates 
and CentOS normally releases them in the next CentOS Update.  Sometimes 
a bugfix will come out at other times and will probably be released into 
the current update.
