Section Number and Name: Chapter 5. Deprecated Functionality


Describe the issue: Need to add below listed features/topics in the deprecated functionality section of Satellite 6.14 release notes. 

1. Asynchronous SSH remote execution mode
The async-ssh remote execution mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. When you have unstable connectivity between Capsules and managed hosts, Red Hat advises you to use the pull mode instead. For more information about pull mode, see Transport Modes for Remote Execution in Managing Hosts.

2. Concurrency control and Time span
Concurrency control and Time span settings in remote job scheduling are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

=>> This is planned to be removed in 6.15 so we should callout the same. 

3. Append domain names to the host
The Append domain names to the host setting is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) to identify the hosts.


4. Foreman Hooks
Foreman Hooks functionality has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The functionality will be replaced by the new Foreman Webhooks feature that will be documented with its release.


5. Provisioning on Red Hat Virtualization
The integration of Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) with Satellite is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. All the existing compute resources of RHV type will be removed and the hosts associated with RHV will be disconnected.

=>> This is planned to be removed in 6.16. 

6. Bootstrap.py
The bootstrap.py script used to register a host to Satellite or Capsule Server has been replaced with the curl command created with the global registration template.

7. Entitlements
Entitlement-based Subscription Management is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
It is recommended to use Simple Content Access, which simplifies the entitlement experience for administrators in regards to subscriptions as a substitute.

=>> We are planning to remove this feature in Satellite 6.16, we already have product based warning added in WebUI, so same should be called out in the release notes.

8. Katello Agent
Katello Agent is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Transition your workloads to use the Remote Execution feature.
Katello-ca-consumer package
The katello-ca-consumer package is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the global registration template for registering a host to Red Hat Satellite.

=>> This is present in 6.14 release notes -> Deprecated functionality section.
