[ale] Satellite 6 opinions?

[Ramesh Nadupalli]

I have learnt from RHN support today that Satellite 6 is not for
environments that are having RHEL 5.6 or older versions.  You can not
register them to the satellite.
I am asking for a workaround so that I can go with Satellite 6.
Waiting for an answer.
