We are still running foreman (and puppet). The only thing we really use
foreman for is for hostgroup classification. We don't use any of the
class, parameters , smart variables stuff. We also generate kickstarts
files out of foreman but don't use any of the dns/dhcp managing stuff.
More and more our foreman becomes a slave to other databases in fact,
forman imports
network values and ownership from the network database. It now also
imports hostgroup ownership from somewhere else (pwn).
More generally foreman has been fine and did what we needed but
certainly we have
had to learn rails to fix a few things here and there... but that's okay.
There is some traction with ansible for sure especially for the "do this
now" please kind of stuff

I expect there will be more. Expect foreman<->ansible integration to
increase a lot I expect since redhat now owns them both.
