First off, I'll believe it when I see it.  I read that article a while 
ago, and I'm still a bit skeptical.
But it does make sense. RHN is migrating to yum, and as a result, I 
believe their satalite servers are as well.  So by the time they open 
source it, there isn't going to be *that* much to open.  But RedHat will 
  be integrating it all together in a nice package, that's what people 
are going to pay for.

If it happens, will we merge it into S.L..  I personally don't want to 
comment one way or another.  We'll see when it happens.
