That's interesting.  Satellite has been out for several years and although I was never anywhere that 
bothered to use it, it seemed to be in reasonable shape.  (We talked at one point about using 
Spacewalk but that never went anywhere.  RH didn't support Satellite or their other tools for 
machines not on the Internet.)

I have a VPS at work that is connected to some sort of RHEL repos.  yum says something about 
Satellite.  That seems to work OK, but all I use is yum.

So I guess I'd have to ask RH to explain the value proposition in using RHEL vs CentOS.  "Support" 
isn't the right answer so it would have to be something about their non-free tools.
