There are 3 types of updates which come out of RedHat. Security, Bugfix
and Enhancements.
Security fixes are important and are normally released first, for the
current 'Update' of centos (even if technically they belong to the next
Update).
Bugfixes and Enhancements normally only come out in the RedHat Updates
and CentOS normally releases them in the next CentOS Update. Sometimes
a bugfix will come out at other times and will probably be released into
the current update.
