Hi Folks,

The CR repo[1][2] is queuing up for release to the mirrors sometime
today.  After that happens our plan is to enable this for all CentOS 7
hosts in CI from that point on. To do this, we'll need to flush the
cache of 'Ready' machines as soon as we make the change, but we expect
the whole process to happen within the day. 

What this means for you:
- - CentOS 7 hosts will install with the CR repo enabled and provisioned
  with @core packages representing the content included in the upcoming
  7.1511 release
- - Packages with 7.1511 builds that are not included in the @core install
  will be available in the CR repository (enabled by default)
- - CentOS 7 hosts will still present as 7.1.1503 in /etc/centos-release

This should give you an opportunity to test your projects against the
upcoming release before the Core team seeds it to mirror.centos.org

I'll send updates here as we progress. As always if you have questions
or comments, feel free to respond here on-list. 

Cheers!
