Except.
If you have a 6.0 machine, and enable the cr/ repo, then you don't just
get the 6.0 updates. You get most of the post-6.0 updates, plus what's
been built for 6.1 (effectively still in QA), plus some post 6.1 updates
(Again, still in QA). As far as I'm aware, there's now way to say "Just
give me the 6.0 updates you have" when using the cr/ repo.
I am more than happy to be corrected on this operation of the cr repo
tho, as I've held off on updating boxes with the cr/ repo so as not to
get "untested" updates.
