OK, we're working on getting actual RHEL 6 entitlements for the new
hosts at Rackspace, which has one server to be dedicated to multiple
Jenkins slaves.

It will be a week or more for those hosts to be available. Once I have
the details, I'll forward them to the Jenkins admins so they can get
started ASAP. (We don't need to wait for Puppet, we can puppetize the
server later.)
