I think that's right.  Tenants are limited to a single RH provider.   I 
can't think of a case where a tenant would want to get RH content from 
multiple locations.

We will need to specify the %env tag within the content set urls when 
creating a manifest on an upstream katello/candlepin, so that the 
downstream created RH provider will pull content from the correct 
environment (i.e. production).
