As a result of this change, there is no longer a "Product ID" field in the list of available subscriptions.  This is somewhat problematic since "Product ID" (also known by the IT group as SKU) was the value used to identify the subscriptions for testing.  The "Subscription Name" is just a name and is not enough information for the SKU testing team in China to confidently identify the subscription pool generated for a particular SKU test.

1. I vote we bring back the "Product ID" field in the list of available subscriptions.  However, I also believe that "Product ID" is the wrong label to used since it is confusing with the "Product ID" of an installed product cert.  Amanada has always called this field SKU.  How about "SKU" or "Subscription ID"?
Suggestions Amanda?

2. Since we want to remove 'Product' from the Subscriptions list, I suggest changing the banner on subscription-manager list --consumed to remove the word "Product"....

Moving back to NEW status for a revisit.

Customer Portal SKU

I wouldn't suggest designing a feature just for our test team. I'd like to get feedback from UX on this one. If there is value in showing the customer sku, great (though most customers don't know what that is). If not, than the testing team may need to work out another solution (like using contract number). If it is desirable, fwiw, the Customer Portal displays 'SKU'. See attached.

Changes made in master, 9d4d24.

SKU is visible in the gui and cli for both available subs, and consumed entitlements.
