Hi!, isn't it easier to subscribe a server to one channel and add in the
future the needed repositories?, that way you don't have to touch that node
in the future (hmm, maybe rhel nodes would need GPG Keys for package from a
new repository :s)

I'm trying to understand the channel/repo relationship to cover the most
common use cases...

Regards,
