Nope, it isn't any of those; it is specific to useNoSSLForPackages.  I'm
guessing that yesterday Red Hat made some change to how RHN handles RHEL
5 updates, and now it suffers from the same problem as RHEL 6 and
useNoSSLForPackages.

If I disable location-aware updates, useNoSSLForPackages works again on
RHEL 5.

It would be nice if Red Hat could announce when infrastructure changes
were being made, so customers don't have to guess.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
