The client packages are going to become available to all server
customers as soon as the RHN profiles get updated. That takes some time
as it is a major repull of data.
For python-imaging my proposal is to move it to the core server.
Did you open a ticket about this package with RH support?

Question: was the fact that python-imaging got introduced to RHELClient
and not Server a conscious determination or
was it a mistake?
if it was a conscious determination, what are the policies that dictate
when and how this occurs? and where can they be found?
