The channel entitlement is for AS 2.1.  I recently made an inquiry into 
when this was going to be pushed forward since the PXE package/ 
rhn-boot-configurator is only availble to 3 channels (and I'm looking 
for a complete installation-tree + pxe-boot + proxy box).  Its in the 
pipe but who knows when it will be pushed forward.

I find it short term acceptable but like many,  their proxy box might do 
a few more taskings and to require a 2.1 box supported in an office 
thats 3 prolific might not be where any of us want to be.  I'd suggest 
tossing in a support ticket so that the powers that be keep having those 
numbers rise.
