Description of problem:
IMO no admin should allow 12k updates being applicable on its system and this message is implying that:
WARNING: Excluding 11574 updates due to foreman-protector.
I assume it should state:

+WARNING: Excluding 11574 packages due to foreman-protector.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.4.8-1.el7sat.noarch

Verified with Sat 6.8 snap 1.
```
# yum install emacs
Loaded plugins: foreman-protector, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
[...]
WARNING: Excluding 4609 packages due to foreman-protector.
Use foreman-maintain packages install/update <package>
to safely install packages without restrictions.
Use foreman-maintain upgrade run for full upgrade.
No package emacs available.
Error: Nothing to do
```
=> The message now correctly mentions packages and is less scary. Note, however, that running `yum update` has the same message with "packages" while it actually *does* block some updates so maybe it should be scary.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
