This is not exactly correct. It is possible with mrepo to import multiple versions of RHEL repos on a single server. I set mine up to import RHEL 4, 5 and 6 a couple of years ago. I’ve upgraded to Spacewalk 2.0 so far using that scenario. I’m preparing to switch to a new instantiation of Spacewalk 2.2 using the direct import mechanisms in the near future to save on space and processing time.
