Actually, I think the comments at the top of /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
are quite difficult to decipher, and must be near impossible for the newbie.
Eg the term "channel" is used without any explanation of what it means.
And what would a newbie (or many oldies) make of this:
====================================================
### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's,
### the label is soley used as an internal identifier and is not
### based on the url or any other info from the repo.
