RHEL 6.4 is not yet GA, but we want to make sure that users of RHOS 2.1
are starting with at least RHEL 6.4 Beta, which is available on RHN/CDN

So if you're using RHEL 6.3, that error message is valid.  Best to start
with the RHEL 6.4 Beta.

The docs do instruct users on enabling the beta repositories:
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack_Preview/2/html/Getting_Started_Guide/ch02.html

But if you're using PackStack, it probably doesn't set the priorities
properly for the Beta channel and it also probably doesn't enable that
channel by default.

Derek, thoughts on the above?

The second issue you hit is valid
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904670) and does need to be
fixed.  It should be fixed in the next few weeks and pushed up to the
RHOS Folsom Preview channels.
