For example, you cannot subscribe to Extras or Supplementary without potentially creating a world of hurt. We need rhnpush in Fedora and EPEL, so I don't see what the problem is. And from the Satellite perspective, if you enable any channels/repos other than Satellite and RHN Tools, you're putting yourself in a difficult support situation and didn't follow the instructions.
