Yes, that's what I do too, though I support could definitely be better! Just activating a different config gets you most of the way there but the regexes have to change which is perhaps a bit too "involved" for general use. So, how would you like such a feature to work? My first thought would be to give the tool a --cr option and add additional [$ARCH-cr] config sections in the config file but I'm open to suggestions. As for the longevity of this script I'll keep maintaining it as long as I need to. If the CentOS project themselves come out with a workable solution tomorrow I will happily abandon it.
