So if I understand correctly, if a user updates to a new sl-release package
in the $releasever repo, this automatically moves him over to 6rolling?

Unfortunately, if you hand edit your repo files to point to another mirror,
that process breaks ;-)
Hmm, I'm wondering how Fedora handles this, since the fedora-release rpm
does mark everything in /etc/yum.repos.d as %config(noreplace).

Kind regards,
