+Subject: [PATCH] RHSM: Adjust the switch to container mode for new RHSM
+
+RHSM in RHEL 8.9+ & RHEL 9.3+ requires newly for the switch to the
+container mode existence and content under /etc/pki/entitlement-host,
+which in our case should by symlink to /etc/pki/entitlement.
+
+So currently we need for the correct switch 2 symlinks:
+  * /etc/pki/rhsm-host        -> /etc/pki/rhsm
+  * /etc/pki/entitlement-host -> /etc/pki/entitlement
+
+Technically we need that only for RHEL 8.9+ but discussing it with
+RHSM SST, we can do this change unconditionally for any RHEL system
+as older versions of RHSM do not check /etc/pki/entitlement-host.
