So regarding this announcement:
The ‘Patches for CentOS 6 Native Tools’ and ‘Patches for CentOS 7’ sites have been deprecated as of October 12, 2017. These sites will no longer be available from the License Overview Dashboard.
To continue to patch CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 systems, use the following sites:
Patches for CentOS6 Plugin R2
Patches for CentOS7 Plugin R2
The number of Fixlets in both sites may vary due to the archival of superseded Fixlets. For more information, see http://bit.ly/2wESl3q .

I noticed that some non-superseded patches are appearing in deprecated site “Patches for CentOS 7” but not in the current R2 site “Patches for CentOS 7 Plugin R2”. An example of this is:
CESA-2017:2832 - Nss Security Update - CentOS 7 x86_64
Release date was only September… Source fixlet info:https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-September/022550.html

Am I misunderstanding how this should work?
Hi,
CESA-2017:2832 is apart of the Patches for CentOS7 Plugin R2 site.
CESA-2017:2832 - Nss Security Update - CentOS 7 x86_64 (Superseded) (ID: 17283201)
Patches for CentOS 7 is deprecated so it does not have the latest information such as new fixlets or supersedence.
