Hello Brian,

This release will not contain Spacewalk server on RHEL8 because we are
unable to build all necessary dependencies (yet).

As for RHEL 8 client there are no new features over Spacewalk 2.9.
So the current status both for Spacewalk 2.9 and 2.10 is
- able to sync RHEL 8 repos - both BaseOS and AppStream
- able to create kickstart distribution and profile for RHEL 8
- which also means able to provision RHEL 8 hosts (physical and virtual)
- if repo contains module information it's downloaded and passed on to client
- does not support creation of own modules
- does not properly show updates for modular repos
(maybe something else I can't remember off the top of my head).
