It seems to me that if you want this "stop on 6.x" feature, it's because you certainly[*] have more than 1 box to manage, which means keeping a local repo with local copies of the RPMs will result in faster updates, with less impact on your Internet link. So it's a feature. [*] If you have only 1 box to manage, there can be no need for this, unless you have some third party telling you which 6.x snapshot is blessed. Otherwise, you're testing that 1 box, and after testing, you're updated, so there is no need for a blessed repository.
