Looks like they fixed the SM side but forgot the local UI.
SM side fix:  
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740874

Not quite sure how this happens, I would think the available subs list comes from candlepin either way.

Bz 740874 solved the problem at content level, so that the content (repositories) were put into redhat.repo without being promoted. This issue however is at subscriptions level.

@Jeff you are right, they come from CP.

@Devan: what do you think about not offering products fro subscription that have no content in the consumer environment?

I don't thing this is a blocker, but might be a bit misleading.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
"If a machine is registered to an environment where content has not yet been promoted, it can still consume subscriptions. When the content is promoted to that environment, the entitlement certificates will be regenerated and the content will become available"

Library -> Dev -> QA -> GA

When the content had been promoted to Dev, yum repolist showed nothing.

The Technical notes mentioned needs to be added under appropriate CFSE section.

Most probably under section 3.1.1 of Release Notes.

Doc update will occur for 1.1. Release note to occur for 1.0.

when we register a machine to env where contents has not been promoted then:

- subscriptions are available to consume
- but contents won't be accessible.

but later when you promote the contents to that env, entitle certs will get generated and that update redhat.repo file and then you can consume contents.

I promoted the contents to 'ga' env and now contents are accessible and redhat.repo  gets updated with entitle certs.
