We're currently registering with
subscription-manager register --username=username --autosubscribe

which on RHEL 6.4 subscribes you to 6.4 Beta, a priority is then set on
the repo rhel-server-ost-6-folsom-rpms to ensure openstack packages are
installed from here. I think this is the correct behaviour.
