Feature: Multiple environments for use with a single consumer
Reason: To give the administrator the ability to assign an ordered list of environments (content views) to a system at registration time and to change that list when it is deemed necessary.
Result:
For the Registration command, the option 'environment' will now be 'environments' and will support a comma-separated ordered list of environments.
For the Environments command, there will be 3 new options: 'set', 'list-enabled', and 'list-disabled'. 'set' will allow an administrator to set a new list of environments for the system.
'list-enabled' will present an ordered list of environments currently assigned to the system.
'list-disabled' will present to an administrator a list of environments that belong to the organization but are not assigned to the system.
For the identity command, the environments assigned to the system will be shown in the 'environments' field as a comma-separated ordered list.

VERIFIED: For the sake of ON_QA verification, the RHEL composes targeting RHEL9.0 GA now include subscription-manager-1.29.23-1.el9 which includes support for multi-environment capable entitlement servers such as planned in the next release of Satellite. More detailed testing comparable to comment 2 and comment 3 can occur against Satellite once it is updated with a "multi_environment" capable Candlepin server.
