The reason why we only have baseurl pointing to mirror.centos.org is
that we dont expect cr/ to be around for a long time. I think its a safe
assumption that 5.7 should be ready for release in a few days time from
here.

The CR only contains rpms from the next-release, so once that release is
online we want to drop the CR/ completely and have everyone move over (
via a yum update ) to using the new rpms in 5.7/; it also means that
there will be no continued updates to the 5.6/cr/ once 5.7 is around and
online.
Let me know if any of that isnt very clear and I will try to explain in
more details
