Hi Felipe,

Clever idea!  Red Hat claims they will be fixing this either the end of 
this month or next.  Why they waited so long is anybodies guess.  My 
theories are that:

   1) Most red hater's run Fedora, so they don't see the constant broken
      behaviour of RHN hosted and errata application.
   2) Those that run RHEL have their own Satellite on their desk, so they
      don't see the constant broken behaviour of RHN hosted :)
