[katello-devel] Different params for unsubscription in RHSM and Katello CLI

[Ivan Nečas]

So there are 2 ways how to unsubscribe in CP:

1. DELETE 
"/candlepin/consumers/d4b32e09-4bab-4fe2-a98b-ce7ec96cb8cb/certificates/6444937435662822417"
(used by subscription-manager unsubscribe --serial)

AND

2. DELETE 
/candlepin/consumers/d4b32e09-4bab-4fe2-a98b-ce7ec96cb8cb/entitlements/4028fa8134f045a10134f048a0ed0026
(used by katello unsubscribe)

AND

3. DELETE 
/candlepin/consumers/d4b32e09-4bab-4fe2-a98b-ce7ec96cb8cb/entitlements
(used by subscription-manager unsubscribe --all)


I don't know what's the semantic difference between 1. and 2. (I would 
vote for having only one option here, but maybe there is something I'm 
missing) Any explanation welcomed.

So adding support for unsubscribing by serial should not be problem 
(just change the API call in case serial is provided).

We should also provide unsubscribe --all call in katello CLI, mapped to 
3. call.
