In Alpha 2 I set it so that if you install just the default stuff, you 
will not get the rhn stuff, so be default, you shouldn't be getting that.
Can/should it be removed from SL?  No.  There are other uses for them. 
The biggest one that I know of is that you can setup a spacewalk server, 
with SL packages, that will act just like connecting to rhn.

Summary - they shouldn't be installed by default with the default 
groups, but we aren't going to remove them from the release.
