[CentOS] Continuous releases and repository protection
Maybe I missed something, but it appears that the CR repository is not
compatible with yum priorities & possibly repository protection. I had
priority=1 set on [base] and [updates] and no updates appeared. However, when I
removed priority updates from cr became visible. Is this expected? Did I miss
this announcement on -devel or such because I searched but couldn't find it.

That's what I expected but couldn't find an announcement about it so
thought I would get it documented.
