Katello will now store some information about the repo in its database before calling pulp. So for example during Katello's pulp repo create / repo clone operations, we'd store the repo information in KT database. This information will help us in a lot of ways including faster retrieval of basic info needed for many pages, help with blacklisting repos, help with search, permission checks etc. The Repository AR model will now lazily load from pulp if one needs information like Packages belonging to pulp and so on.

I initially thought of creating a migrate script to alter the tables, but then noticed that one would need to reimport the manifest and recreate the repos in the database anyway, for the data to be in Pulp and Katello's database. So run the clean all. For those of you upgrading from the RPM, katello-reset-db might not be enough at this point since it does not reset everything. Will look into that in a bit. Please let me know/file bugs if you run into issues.

I'll let Shannon/Partha/Justin speak further but the short answer is: 
not yet.  There are a bunch of other changes we are working on to do 
this.  This is just one *step* to make that page better as well as 
making supporting blacklisting/whitelisting of repos easier.
