Yeah good catch. We could have the Third level label be
'Subscriptions List'.

No, In 1.0 you will find a list of subscriptions under Organizations
and under Red Hat Provider. Breaking Subscriptions out is meant to
eliminate the ambiguity and redundancy. Under Repositories you now
have 'Custom Repos' and 'Red Hat Repos' which is the same content as
providers with the exception of 'Red Hat Repos' which should no
longer have a list of subs or an import history tab. These now have
the label of repos because that is what they contain. We are sill
mirroring content we are just doing it in multiple places and are
more specific with nav labels. Users now have one place to see all
Subs available in that environment which is under 'Subscriptions' in
a nice new tu-payne.
This is still not clear to me. Is the current two-pane under "Content Providers >
Custom Content Providers" now going to be under "Repositories > Custom
Repositories"?

For the current 'Custom Provider' everything is done exactly the same
just the label changed and its position in the nav. For 'Red Hat
Provider' we have now eliminated the subscriptions from this page
and condensed it into one list under subscriptions. The process is
still the same here is well except you now import from the
subscription page. This is why the nav is reorganized this why to
imply the workflow you outlined.
1- Import Subs
2- Enable Repos(Could add gpgs here or filter packages)
3- Sync down content
4- Content Search (Browser) - Find Content, Add to Sys
template/Changeset
5- Manage Sys template/Add to change set
6- Manage Changeset/Promote to next environment
