Not really:

- we added an additional repository to the installer
   (for site-specific tools)
- we changed repository definitions to point to
   our servers (and not centos mirrorlist)
- and we push updates in 'bunches' to these repos
   once per week (except for critical security ones)

other than the above it is just CentOS ..
