Hi all,
I am in the midst of an update to all of our SL6 servers (in this case 6.6 -> 
6.7). I noticed a while ago that both the current version repos and the 6x 
repos are enabled by default via the 2 .repo files; sl.repo and sl6x.repo:

/etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo (with stuff deleted):
[sl]
enabled=1

[sl-security]
enabled=1

/etc/yum.repos.d/sl6x.repo (with stuff deleted):
[sl6x]
enabled=1

[sl6x-security]
enabled=1

I realize that this is benign in practice because the sl6x repos and the sl 
repos resolve to the same thing, but I would like to know if someone has any 
comments as to why we see this behaviour. (It did trip me up when during the 
6.6->6.7 upgrade because I update my machines against a local mirror that is 
configured somewhat differently than the scientificlinux.org repos.)
