Yeah. I noticed the lack of yum-updatesd and spent a bunch of
time trying to figure out what had happened to it a couple of
weeks ago, which is why I knew about it not being there. (I was
kind of hoping that I'd just missed it when you said you thought
it was there, though!)
It doesn't look like yum-cron is a real replacement for
yum-updatesd, as it won't actually install the updates for you.

Sort of. In fact, they're doing this continuous release thing
[0], so while you can't get a 6.1 install per se, you can get the
newer packages as they're built, so you end up with something
that's pretty close. So if you're using it to test things you're
going to deploy on RHEL and need that binary compatibility with a
particular set of packages, you might have issues, but if you
don't care whether you're exactly up to date with RHEL, it
probably doesn't matter that much.
