The catch is: these packages -may- change in place on a hotfix basis if a packaging/rebuild-level bug is caught. Multiarch rebuilds of CentOS Linux are done via a separate process, and though they happen fairly quickly, they do not gate the release of CentOS Linux. In CBS, because of the hotfix-nature of CR, we do not include it in the buildroots for SIG packages, we only include the released CentOS Linux repos for this. Cheers! --Brian
