[CentOS] Updates... What? already?

[David Lemcoe]

Yeah, I did a yum update as soon as my install finished, and there were
288MB of updates. Alain was right, in that RHEL 6.1 security updates deemed
important enough made their way into the 6.0 repos. The centos.org site
explains it:

"Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a
Continous [sic] Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1
security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is released
itself. "
