I'd like to see the items in RHEL proper in Centos (patched of course). Keep in mind that RH ships separate RHN Channels or additional packages via other repos too. osad, jabberpy, rhn-kickstart* and rhn-virt* are NOT currently shipped in RHEL. I don't think they should be in Centos. Please ship only the items in RHEL. rhn-client-tools, rhnlib, yum-rhn-plugin. There could be a couple more, but I don't have a RHEL system in front of me. I will check tomorrow at work. Again, I am asking for alignment with RHEL. Outside of that, users can use EPEL for the supplemental packages. (Assuming they eventually all make it in there...and I am working on it with a few SW-Dev people).
