[Spacewalk-list] Best Practices

[Colin Coe]

I'd like to see a RHEL channel naming standard in Spacewalk.

For RHEL content, we can't use the same channel names as Satellite
server does.  This leads to the community having a wide array of names
for RHEL channels.  This is problematic for scripts such as
rhn-clone-errata where everyone effectively has their own copy as they
need to modify it to match their channel names.  It's a real pity that
this restriction is in place.
