The purpose of CR has been explained quite thoroughly before.

It is an opt in repository that puts out faster releases with less QA
than the standard repo.

You have to decide if you want this repo or not (is QA more important to
you or is a faster release more important to you) .. it is one of the
options available as we bend over backwards to try to make people happy.
