Description

To reproduce:

  1. create a repo with a feed to https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/5/5.10/x86_64/kickstart/ or one of its mirrors (lazy or non-lazy, either are fine)
  2. Sync it

It fails to sync the distribution with:

The reason for this is RHEL5 uses an older format for its treeinfo files, but our model does not handle it gracefully. The current format for these treeinfo files can be found here: http://release-engineering.github.io/productmd/treeinfo-1.0.html

We need to make our distribution tree model more flexible and we need to carefully document which bits are there for backwards compatibility with RHEL 5. Furthermore, CentOS 7 doesn't seem to do what RHEL7 does with its treeinfo file.
