I'm guessing the subscription-manager yum plugin is for RHEL and

validate that your RHEL subscription before using them for updates.

For what it's worth, this situation is yet another example of why you do
not "install everything" from a repo, and why such an option is a bad
idea for install discs.  Plenty of packages are useless to most users,
some packages are mutually exclusive with others, some will cause
problems all by themselves...

I did NOT install everything from a repo!!!
As I already stated, it was not installed in the
first place when I had I nstalled the fc16 DVD,
because it was not on it (DVD). Ever since I
have been doing update every other day.
2 days ago?? yum -y update must have brought
it in.   -y!!!! BAD IDEA!!!

# rpm -q --last subscription-manager

will tell you when it was last updated/installed if you haven't removed it yet.

Possibly

# grep subscription-manager /var/log/yum*

might still tell you.

Yes, it came in on June 7th's yum update.
However, looking at my command history ( keep a VERY
large command history just for issues like this),
I see no deliberate install of subscription-manager and it's siblings.
It came with yum update. THAT should not have happened.
