I'd really like to see some improvements to this module as well. The current situation keeps me from using it. Instead I also have a bunch of shell tasks that handle registering and attaching a host to a specific pool.
The problem I have with this module is that there is an argument called "pool" which actually is misleading. With Red Hat subscriptions pools are unique ID that identify a collection of different Red Hat products. If I attach to a pool, I get this exact collection. The Ansible module uses the pool parameter as regex to search into all available Red Hat pools for products that match (and than attach to all RH pools that match).
