While I have no issues with redesigning things for better UX, I was
hoping for some suggestion (a rename perhaps) that could go into
Katello 3.4. I hit the wrong page every second day, I was wondering if
this is just me or other people also hit Sync Plans instead Sync
Status :-)

Hey,
I constantly keep mis-clicking on Sync Plans instead Sync Status in
Katello.
Any UX advice how to change that? I suggest either rename one to be
