Copying a response from the devel mailing list:
Code: Select all
I have a todo item to explain this a little bit better on the wiki.
Basically the problem is, starting on Day 1 we have the os/ repository populated with GA packages *and* updates (0-day updates and those that came in while we were in the middle of the build process). os/ will continue to receive updates.
If you use the os/ repository, your install will use those updates as part of the install, but some folks would prefer to install using GA content, and perform updates later. That's where the kickstart/ repo comes in.
The kickstart/ repository is a snapshot of GA content, and will not change until upstream does another point-release.
Cheers!

So, if I understand this correctly, there will be no updates repo anymore, instead base will also have the updates and kickstart will have the original base packages.
