The person in charge of the packages (most of them are me or
Jim Perrin)
will update those if an upstream release is done ... as most
of those
packages are either rebuilds of our normal packages with
different
options (ie, kernel) or some other upstream released
packages (ie, RHWAS
for mysql, php, postgresql, httpd), or something else ...
like jfs or
xfs tools (which go with the kernel).
The bottom line is ... those packages can be used and we
will make every
effort to keep them updated ... but they are not as well
tested as
CentOS proper.

No idea exactly what their process is ... but our process is
not like
that one; as in ... we have no one working for us who does
nothing but X
or Y package all day long.
