I'd like to see a RHEL channel naming standard in Spacewalk. For RHEL content, we can't use the same channel names as Satellite server does. This leads to the community having a wide array of names for RHEL channels. This is problematic for scripts such as rhn-clone-errata where everyone effectively has their own copy as they need to modify it to match their channel names. It's a real pity that this restriction is in place.
