Seems like too easy an answer. I don't recall reading anywhere that Red Hat
can dictate which package distribution tool you use on your end. They even
document how to make a local repository for internal distribution of
packages, so whether or not you do that via spacewalk should then be none
of their concern.

I think that as long as you pay your license fee and you install official
Red Hat packages, Red Hat must provide you with the support you paid for. I
never received the question from Red Hat on "how I updated a server", but
if relevant "did you update the server".
