Anyone with a RHN Satellite Server can do the entite media history from the Kickstartable Trees in 5 minutes. I.e., I've done it many times over the years, even recently off-list to many.
What I've heard is that some here will only accept a specific, actual statement from Red Hat on its own entitlement history. So doing such, which I've also done, is moot. I.e., we continue to have a lot of interpretation.
