What's wrong with always having the CR repo installed and enabled ? It
might be empty outside of transition periods, but this shouldn't hurt,
right ? My understanding is there is no QA difference between a package
pushed to the updates or one pushed to the cr repo, thus base + updates
+ cr repos should stack up nicely.
