It seems, it would be worth to make mapping from repositories to Os and 
architecture and teach Candlepin about it so that it chooses correctly 
what repositories to display for particular system (given it would known 
the OS/arch of the system).

For Aeolus, it might lead to Component outline, that would support more 
OSes/architecture and the actual choice would be made at image build 
time (when the TDL is sent to Oz), but I still need som info from Aeolus 
team on that, to know if it's possible or not. If not, we would need to 
specify the Os/arch when generating TDL. And even there, the mapping 
between Repos and OSes and Archs would be really helpful.
