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 updates due to foreman-protector. +WARNING: Excluding 11574 packages due to foreman-protector.

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28684 from this bug
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28684 has been resolved.
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.
