[Pulp-list] RHEL repo version lock using pulp

[Ben Stanley]

This approach of locking the repo before the new release will fail to get 
updates for the old version.

I advise to use Kodiak's method of examining the entitlements and finding 
the proper version locked repo names. Then you will receive the proper 
updates for each version.
