Description of problem: As part of RHEL 5.8, subscription-manager will have some new features that were introduced in 6.2. The 5.8 version of python-rhsm requires certain features to be backported from 6.2 in order to support this. These features are already supported in candlepin, this bug is just for exposing these via the python-rhsm wrapper. Specifically: * new bind API call * new API calls for environment information * package profiling API * expose stacking ID from entitlement cert * expose virt-only flag from entitlement cert The QE for this is already laid out in the subscription-manager 5.8 plan; python-rhsm is a library used by subscription-manager that is not tested by itself.
