fence-agents are in several child channels of RHEL6. As far as I can tell, if this is a violation of policy is still up for discussion. As for the practical nature of things, would you still expect cobbler power management to continue to work without fence-agents or are you expecting an error message?
Currently on EL4 and EL5, we don't require fence-agents and just recommend that you install it if you try to use the power management functions of cobbler. I'm going to extend that to EL6. Should be so for 2.0.11. Expect it to hit epel-testing around 20110110.

I can not find fence-agents in any rhel6 channel. I can not install cobbler and installation of spacewalk also failed. Is there any workaround?
Any movement on this, checking koji shows no build for 2.0.11 and there was recently a security hole that was patched for cobbler, let me see here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1551 not sure if this is applicable to RHEL/EPEL versions of cobbler though. -Erinn

I can not install cobbler and > installation of spacewalk also failed. Is there any workaround? The HA channels have this repository. So the work around is to add them. I'll do a release as soon as I have a chance to get the fix out.

I will look at getting that included for 2.0.11 (currently unreleased). I'll have to make sure that it doesn't negatively affect anything. I don't believe it does.
