Disregard, I guess for whatever reason when a new dot-release is going on, things go into CR, but otherwise they go into the dot-release.  Or so I just read in the notes about the current repo state.

Yay, another goofy annoying thing to remember and another thing to go add to ansible code to deploy and undeploy this goofy CR repo, just to check machines properly for security updates. 

Not that I don’t love ya, volunteers, but I really hate waiting on security updates while they bounce through CR… that doesn’t make any sense at all.  Bug fixes, sure… security, no.
