Why redhat will never get another dime of my money.

See, the real problem wasn't rolling out an update to 100 servers. The real
Problem was redhat releasing an untested piece of software to my satellite
server, which then gets automatically installed whenever a new system
kickstarts. The problem would be nullified, if inside the satellite server I
could roll-back the rhncfg.* packages in the rhel-i386-ws-3-u4 net tools
channel, but unfortunately, I cannot do this.
