Hi Mike, thanks for the information, this is at least partly good news. Whet I currently can't figure out - maybe you have some information about it - is the situation with, e.g. Vagrant. I rely a lot on Vagrant boxes for development and testing work, and up to now the situation with RHEL is that there are none, probably due to legal issues and because RHN registration doesn't mix well with instances created and deleted on-the-fly. The obvious solution is - or rather, was - CentOS, which so far fit my needs. CentOS Stream in all likelyhood will not fill that gap. Are there plans for making it possible to create Vagrant boxes and similar items based on "FreeRHEL"?I don't think we're going to ship vagrant images directly. I know several customers are using vagrant with RHEL and we've got some people using it internally. We've got some kbase and docs on the customer portal (which you do have access to with these developer program accounts).

de-registering a box could be made part of the teardown process I would think. I've also heard stale boxes (IE: registered systems that are no longer check-ing in) have some way to do an automated cleanup after 2 days or so? I'm a little confused on how that process works though, its actually on my todo list to check out in February when the new simpler content access is in place.
Honestly not so much experience with mock but what about mock build environments. While mock bootstraps the context to build rpms quite often, there is the need to access the repos. Does mock support "login" into such "RH accounts" and logout (deregister)?
CentOS with there mirrors was quite easy in this case.
It does not, unfortunately. You need to have subscription-manager configured on your host to be able to use RHEL content with Mock (which is a bit of a hassle in its own right...).
Thanks, I was afraid reading this. So free RHEL make it more worse.
