I can sympathize with RHN inflicted pain ... but I must say for a
large account I do find the improvements made in RHN 4.0.0 to be a big
net plus. Wading through 500+ activation keys page by page used to
consume part of my life as did wading through 400+ users. The addition
of those little search boxes made me jump for joy.

I still have a couple of complaints that are similar to yours when you
try to add group admins or set a default system group for a user. Both
still require wading through pages and pages of information. Very slow
and a complete waste of time. Actually, setting a default group didn't
used to require wading through pages, that is something I think was
broken in the process too.

I still see the same old links in those places but I have the
management module, you may have been getting a free ride, I dunno
about that. It would surely be better if changes like that were
somehow announced though so you aren't taken by surprise over night.
