Description

Currently the Content View and Lifecycle Environment are fields of a Content Facet. These fields have a NOT-NULL constraint, so they are validated on every host. This means that if I'm trying to create a CentOS, or Debian host, it will ask for a Content View and Lifecycle - which I may not want for hosts that don't use subscription-manager.

In fact for the CentOS case, it's harmful: having a Content View for a CentOS host changes the @mediapath variable (the parameter sent to --url in the kickstart) to point to Pulp, which means you're pointing to Red Hat and installing Red Hat instead of CentOS (unless you've synced CentOS).

Fixes #21670 - Allow non RH hosts to NOT have content views

Currently the Content View and Lifecycle Environment are fields of a
Content Facet. These fields have a NOT-NULL constraint, so they are
validated on every host. This means that if I'm trying to create a
CentOS, or Debian host, it will ask for a Content View and Lifecycle -
which I may not want for hosts that don't use subscription-manager.

In fact for the CentOS case, it's harmful: having a Content View for a
CentOS host changes the @mediapath variable (the parameter sent to --url
in the kickstart) to point to Pulp, which means you're pointing to
Red Hat and installing Red Hat instead of CentOS (unless you've synced
CentOS).
