I deleted all packages in the RHEL5 channel and re-synced with my RHEL5 base 
repository, so there should not be any CentOS packages at all there. I use the 
rhn-clone-errata.py script to sync erratas, but just RHN erratas, no CentOS.

Emne: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Foreign packages in RHEL channel

If the packages were still listed in the RHEL channels even removal of the 
centos channels would not remove the packages. Assuming I read that correctly. 
Or at least that is my experience. I think they will only be orphaned if they 
ended up in no channels. If this is not the case I would be grateful for an 
explanation how this works as well.

I know that in SW 1.4 unless you use the GUI to submit errata packages will be 
cross posted to every channel to which the errata applies. That is, if errata 
BAZ applies to channels FOO and BAR and packages X and Y yet X only exists in 
FOO and Y in BAR after submission of the errata X and Y packages will exist in 
both FOO and BAR even if the package has nothing to do with the channel. Other 
than that I personally have never seen packages leak into or get cross posted.
