We are looking into it from the other way around, as community managed 
plugins to add to foreman.

Hopefully there is no issue with a nested rails engines.

However, I'm not sure what is the difference between API and as a 
mountable app, that we share the same db? (hopefully there are no 
database table collisions).

Another option, if needed, is to create a foreman plugin for katello, 
which knows in which scenarios ES needs to be updated, this would work 
nicely with our planned plugin system, and would allow the katello team 
to extend foreman when needed.
