some questions:

"4. User Clones RHEL 6 Server Product, only importing the 6.0
Repository. This clone is feedless, and therefore cannot be sync'd. "


so, when the user clones a product, they will need to pick which
repositories they wish to clone from the source product.  makes sense,
just wanted to make sure.

"5. User promotes the Cloned RHEL 6 Server Product into the next
environment, and subscribes systems to the contained 6.0 Repository.

     * These systems must consume Red Hat entitlements in the same
manner as those subscribed to mirrored products. "

Candlepin people:  Does CP support the relationship between products
such that the subscriptions can be pulled from the same pool even if we
create this new 'cloned' product?
