Question - given that it focuses on the centos-announce mailing list,
when the CentOS project gets caught in a version squeeze (like when
RHEL 6.2 was released and CentOS didn't have 6.1 out the door yet),
they activate the CR repository.  Those announcements are made to the
centos-cr-announce mailing list.  Are there any plans to have an
option to utilize those archives?  Currently, I just make a copy of
the centos-errata.py script and edit it by hand, but it's something I
have to do for each version upgrade.  Of course, if this script is
eventually going away this may not be necessary, but...
