8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
Satellite 6.4 would be a realistic release.
it is believed that this would be a feature that would also benefit other Customers as well and isn't specific to simply this Customer.
