no access to security and other critical updates. Please
register using subscription-manager.

This is the first time I see the registration thing.
Why is this being done?
Why does anyone have to register their machine?
I see no reason for this other than monitoring people's machines.
This is totally unacceptable.

I'm guessing the subscription-manager yum plugin is for RHEL and
shouldn't be installed on a Fedora machine. And Red Hat does want to
validate that your RHEL subscription before using them for updates.
Anyhow, a quick check in yum shows that both product-id and
subscription-manager aren't in the Fedora repositories. Removing them
(again, assuming you're on a Fedora machine) should fix the error
message.

but it was surely NOT installed by default on any fedora
machine - please do not install random things and belive
more is better - the opposite is true: anyhting which is
not installed can make no troubles and everything will
make them sooner or later

But that is strange!!
As I reported, it is branded as fc16 from @updates.
They all came from fc16 @updates.
