Incorrect. If a system consumes two channels from a single channel family that system has consumed two entitlements from that channel family. That is my expected results. The bug is that somewhere isn't correctly doing this initially.

The channel-family is the 'owner' of entitlement-numbers. Subscribing a system to a given channel, consumes one entitlement from the channel-family to which that channel belongs.

In this case, all of the "Red Hat JBoss Web Server" channels belong to the same channel-family, jb-ews. Subscribing a single server to both "Red Hat JBoss Web Server (v 2)" and to "Red Hat JBoss Web Server (v 1)" causes that system to consume two jb-ews entitlements.

I've made repeated attempts using Sat5.6 and the steps listed here, and have not found a way to get anything other than the expected results - subscribing the same system to more than one Jboss Web Server channel, consumes multiple Red Hat JBoss Web Server entitlements.

Closing as NOTABUG. If you can find some path that shows something *other than* "subscribing to these two child-channels consumes two entitlements", please add to the BZ and reopen.
