No you are not missing anything. The dell repos do not ever replace
*any* configuration on your system. They simply *add* the dell
repositories.

See, right here. This is the default RHN configuration. Unchanged from a
pristine install.

You are still connected to the default repositories.

And you have the Dell repositories set up *in addition* to the default
repos.

If you wish to remove the dell repositories, simply remove the
dell-repository and dellhw-repository rpms (and their dependencies)

Keep in mind that doing this will make me very, very sad.
