[Spacewalk-list] Endless osad issues

[Colin Coe]

Hi Steve

Unfortunately, I can't offer any useful advise other than to log this
with RedHat GSS.  If lots of people do this then maybe the problem
will be fixed sooner.

FWIW, I'd like func to replace osad sooner rather than later also.
There used to be an entry on the roadmap
(https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/roadmap) with func on the timeline
but it's gone now.
