This has been a political battle with Red Hat.  We are already paying
for the updates via our license fee, so we don't want to pay extra for
RHN Satellite  :)  Also, we don't want to maintain a RHN Satellite
server (overhead, etc).

We are using my patched up2date to bring down the RHN updates on a
single machine:
