Specifically, for RHEL6, SSG will be included in 6.6+:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/6.6_Release_Notes/bh-chap-security.html

For RHEL7, we're tracking to include SSG v0.1.19 in a TBD release of
RHEL7. The next window for RHEL7 package inclusion will be RHEL 7.1.
(sorry, I have to word things indirectly to meet RHT rules)

With that said, I think there is still value to providing a community
yum repo where we can land the upstream monthly builds for the user
community to track against... would this be valuable to anyone?
