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?

I don't think this is true. I have RHEL-5Server (academic)
entitlement, and I don't see "Client" listed anywhere in my list of
available software channels. I only see:
# RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
# RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
# RHEL Hardware Certification (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
# RHEL FasTrack (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
# Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Server (v.5 32-bit x86)
And "python-imaging" is definitely not available to me:
root@bakserv:[~]# yum list python-imaging
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
rhel-i386-server-5 100% |=========================| 1.4 kB 00:00
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Finished
The situation may be different for those who paid full enterprise
price for RHEL entitlements, but that doesn't change the fact that
unless EPEL provides "client" packages, I'll be left with broken
repositories. I will note, that it makes that much harder for me to
justify paying money to RH if I can have a better service using
Centos+EPEL.
