Description

In katello-installer we use librarian, but IMHO submodules are easier to manage for our use cases

I don't think working with librarian-puppet is ideal. But I definitely have no good experience with using git submodules extensively. Also, as the foreman-installer uses the librarian, it makes sense for katello-installer to use the same. The reason why we store the modules within the katello-installer is easier downstream process than without it.

Some things to consider:

1. Can we adopt Foreman method of pulling in modules at build time?
2. How do we cherry-pick fixes?
3. How do downstream builds work in light of the upstream process?

Foreman used to use submodules so maybe we can see what the pros/cons are. The Foreman way of pulling in at build time is also OK. Opening this request was mostly prompted by a PR I had last week and this one:
https://github.com/Katello/katello-installer/pull/93

I find it difficult to locate where the actual change was vs. just updating the modules, it generates a lot of noise.
