+1 as 7.6.1810 is exactly 7.5.1804+updates+CR so only missing packages
are centos-release/anaconda and install tree/media ..

So if there are issues with CR, using the list and bugs.centos.org would
be good.
BTW : the goal of CR is exactly to find those issues earlier and then
write Release Notes with workarounds/warnings
