   I haven't checked it all out, but I get the impression that this is a
snapshot of all development in that distro in 3 months.   In other words,
for each package, the developer checks in a new feature, a bug fix
(exploitable or not), or a performance enhancement.   The distro librarian
checks it for compatibility with the rest of the distro and updates the
distro.   Next 'yum update' pulls it down.
