RHEN != RHN.  RHN isn't the RHN it used to be, where enterprise and 
desktop play together.  There are 2 services now, RHEN for Enterprise 
systems, and RHN for desktop/rhlp systems.  Please don't confuse the 
two services, and expect the same out of both.

Here's a thought.  Assign your entitlements to released products.  Then 
they aren't being "wasted".  It's a beta for god sakes.  If you don't 
want to participate in the beta process, which may or may not populate 
RHN with stuff, then don't.  Put your release product back on and feel 
good about having used your entitlements.  Hell, dual boot the box so 
you can boot back to your released product and look at the shiny blue 
check icon.
