We are going to try and patch it so we lose the GUI Nag and we disable
the auto-run for the yum-plugin, that way we can leave it in the same
roles / install types and in the base distro for people who want to use
it. And it wont complain about 'This machine is not subscribed to RHN'.

Would that work ?

Jim is going to take a stab at patching stuff, I had a brief look and
passed along notes to him. Would be good if someone familiar with the
codebase upstream could glace over and ack the patch.. once we have it.
