CentOS/RHEL/OracleLinux support would be really nice though :-) But as a (hopefully straight forward) replacement, Uyuni is not that great for a non-SuSE-house.

I guess this is where you and I differ! I would have expected that
they would because it would benefit them to allow the community to be
fully integrated. The breakage was because historically they didn't
need to care about it (SUSE Manager was a Spacewalk fork), and now
they *should*. But at least they care enough that they'll maintain it
once I get it working.

We only use the repository-part of Spacewalk, including the cloning of channels, and not the million other features of Foreman/Katello. So Foreman/Katello is a bit feature-heavy for our taste. And as we already are running Saltstack, the Uyuni-server would be a great replacement for us. But as everything else goes, you need to look forward and use what you can and is available.

Pulp 3 is very nice! I'm starting to use it for my repository-only
needs, and I really like it. :)
