this is the way it has always been: once upstream releases x.y+1 , there
are no more updates to x.y (in upstream and therefore also in centos),
until centos releases x.y+1 .
the difference now is: if you want the updates which will become
available once centos x.y+1 is released, you can get them through the CR
repo. The price you pay is that the packages may not be as thoroughly
tested as they will be when x.y+1 is released.
