[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk, RHN plguins...

[James Hogarth]

I can see it as possible albeit perhaps potentially confusing if care not
taken. Personally I'd love to be able to hold a package version or ignore an
update available for a particular package (but still allow it to be
installed by yum command)... but I know it will be a lot of work and I'd
probably need to implement myself and submit code... *grumbles something
about time, lack, dev and environment*
