we dont need anything of this nature, we have something in
place that seems to 
be working mostly. What I meant by mirror management is how
the stuff looks when 
its on the mirror

pushing out each tree, as it is, for upto 3 sub-release deep
is just plain 
stupid. So if anyone has ideas on how we can do this in a
sane manner, please do 
speak up

Well, I definitly can't see how the "3 sub-release
deep" (4.5.x and 5.0.x, and so on) can work in the
actual tree and procedure
updates for the "2 sub-release deep" (4.y.0) will
have
greater version number than updates for "3
sub-release" so yum will install them

so, _if_ CentOS team want to provide similar package
for "premium centos support" users I can only see
one
solution
break the now procedure to "hardlink" directory 4
-->
4.<lastversion> 
so every "2 sub-release deep" release will have
its on
repos: os, updates, csgfs, extras (just the same
channels that redhat provide, not the one that centos
owns by itseft: centosplus, addons, etc)
every 4.5, 4.6, 5.0, 5.1 need to be releases by its
own
just as mayor releases

lots of work and space to maintain, that is one of the
reason redhat charge so much

mirrormanager though adds a number of features like using
preferred 
netblocks, country mirrors, etc. In addition someone could
add his local 
mirror for private use which, for large corporations may be
useful.

I admit I haven't been fooling around much with what CentOS
has in place 
right now though
