Thanks Troy and sorry for my delayed response. But I have antoher 
question. Will scientificlinux release security fixes updates during EUS 
of certain release like 6.0 until upstream it marks as an EOL??

For example:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1106.html

This is a security fix released by upstream vendor, but I didn't see if 
this package is released for SL6.0

Thanks.
