These are core foreman capabilities offered in the latest code base and
not necessarily features that will be integrated with katello or
conductor. In other words, a user would go directly to foreman to manage
these features, correct?
While I personally don't mind, I think the goal is that users don't
login directly into foreman, rather we expose it via CE/SE.
I would expect a lot of these features showing up in Katello, and for
the record, you can't easily provision lots of system in rhevm via CE
without dns and ip management support ( or at least subnets / networking).
