Otherwise, nope.
When I was a sysadmin for a living, I used CR in my test/staging area to see if everything worked. After I worked out all the kinks, I then either used CR on my production servers and/or waited until the actual point release, based on how close the release was going to be after I finished evaluating in testing/staging. In general, for CentOS Linux 6 and before .. CR takes 3 or 4 days and final release is usually 14 to 21 days. For CentOS Linux 7 (because of more rebases to newer versions that are much less conservative than EL6 and before) CR usually takes 10-14 days and final point release 35 to 42 days. So, the delta in both cases (from CR done to final point release) is 2 to 4 weeks after CR rpms are released.
