James:

Would be nice for us to be able to leverage some of the infrastructure 
that is built into the pulp-admin cli within our katello cli.  As you 
are working on some refactoring/reorganization in this sprint, can you 
chat with Lukas about how to make this possible.  If we can get away 
with something better that cut-n-paste that would be good...but either 
way, we should find a way to take advantage of what's already been 
developed.
