[Spacewalk-list] System Profiles

[Matthew Madey]

Spacewalk creates snapshots when a system's package manifest changes. You
can find it under the provisioning tab for a profile. You can rollback to a
previous snapshot if needed. I'd recommend using that feature rather than
system profiles.

I don't think having hundreds of saved profiles will hurt you much on
performance, but from a management perspective snapshots would likely be
easier.
