I've had the CentOSPlus repository enabled for CentOS6 for more than a year with no problems. I don't recall reading anything on this mailing list or IRC suggesting that enabling plus caused issues with updates. The CentOS wiki warns "Enabling this repository makes CentOS different from upstream. You should understand the implications of this prior to enabling CentOSPlus". Essentially this is a reminder that the CentOS community has no appetite for supporting slightly non-standard configurations (a very reasonable stance). If you need the extra hardware driver modules available with Plus this shouldn't stop you from running a Plus kernel. Just be prepared to reproduce any problems using a stock kernel (which you can still select at boot) if you need to resolve an OS issue with help from others. The only vhanged packages in the CentOS Plus 6 repo are the kernel (kernel, kernel-abi-whitelist, kernel-doc, kernel-firmware, kernel-headers, kernel-devel), the kernel performance utilities (perf, python-perf), and postfix. For detailed differences of the "Plus" kernel see: https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus?action=show&redirect=Repositories%2FCentOSPlus#head-a94637ae716c01023f633e8b5fb840f555f6d378 HTH, HAND, -- Charles
