> OpenAFS
>      OpenAFS kernel module package has changed. With SL6.0 we started
>      packaging the OpenAFS client's kernel module according to the
> guidelines
>      from TUV's Driver Update Program.
>
>      Due to unanticipated changes with the 6.3 kernel, we've had to revisit
>      the process. With the 6.4 release, we modified the packaging to provide
> a
>      dedicated build of the module for each minor SL release, instead of
> one
>      kernel module (kmod) for all SL6 kernels. Since the EL kernel ABI is
>      supposed to be kept stable within a minor release, this should avoid
> the
>      problems some SL users experienced.
>
>      For those updating their system using yum, this change should be
>      completely transparent.
>
> yum-conf-sl6x
>      This is now installed by default. You may remove it to return to the
>      historical behavior.
>
> yum-conf-sl-other
>      This now features an entry for 'sl-addons' repo. For more information
> on
>      sl-addons please view the README file within the addons repo itself.
>
> xorg-x11-server
>      Features a new ABI, this was a security errata so it should be
> available
>      to earlier releases.
