The new RHN, part of the access.redhat.com client web portal is a
project being done by another team. RHN replacement of the future will
be using portions of the same project we are, such as pulp and
candlepin. The subscription-manager client within RHEL 6.1 will also be
commonly used for both System Engine and the new RHN environment.
The demo done at Summit, if you had seen it, clearly indicates that
katello aims to be (including look'n'feel) much different from that of
the new RHN. I know we have little on Katello public right now, but are
working to get all the pieces lined up to move it external.

That's certainly big news. Is work on Spacewalk going to tail off then?
Red Hat is committed to continue to sponsor Spacewalk. Red Hat will
continue to be actively involved in Spacewalk, contributing code upstream,
as RHN Satellite today continues to be Red Hat's primary systems management
solution for managing the life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for
traditional data centers. Over time our contributions though will go down as
we approach the End of Life for Satellite 5.x for our customers.
I can understand the direction and can see why Red Hat would be going
towards the cloud. There are still going to be a large number of
companies for whom Satellite is more than adequate. Will Satellite be
The Satellite product question is best answered from your Red Hat account
rep in private. I'm more than willing to share the presentation we made last
week at the Summit (which is public information now) and give a commitment
that we are not abandoning the Spacewalk project, but acknowledging that our
long term strategy for this code base has changed. I'm pleased to say we
have a strong community of users as well as growing list of enhacement&
bugfix contributors.

AMQP will be used in the future replacement of Satellite (called System
Engine). See Summit roadmap presentation:
http://www.redhat.com/summit/2011/presentations/summit/whats_next/thursday/summit-2011.warner_sanders_t_1400_future_of_satellite-v5.pdf
This though will likely not be changed in Spacewalk and will continue to
use osad / jabberd for the near term future.

Cliff
