Is this being watched at all?

Hello,

Last comment of this BZ has been made more than a year ago. It's tracked under sat-short and according to definition it likely can be implemented within 12-18 months. Now we are far behind that considering the creation date. 

We need to update customer and answer "No, we are not going to implement it" is just fine. The current situation when we have to tell customer in the way "it may be implemented, we'll keep you updated" is not feasible :-)

Thank you
Jirka

Moving to ON_QA as Satellite 6 (and Foreman) provide global template snippets which can be edited via the web UI, the remote CLI or the API.

This was delivered with Satellite 6.0 which was released on 10 September 2014.
