Today, there is one type which is allowed to do exports.. it is the
"Candlepin" type. We have gotten the request to support more than one
distributor type. Anyone mind putting a boolean on that type which is
"is distributor", and changing the logic so that it checks that instead
of the type iteself?

I'd rather change Candlepin type to Distributor (no boolean). This
would be a simple change. The drawback would mean you wouldn't be
able to be a different type and be a distributor. My hesitation to
adding the boolean is that it's only for one type, unless there's
also plans to add more types that can be distributor.

There would be more than one type...

I'm ok with adding the boolean then.

I'd prefer to change the logic that decides if you can export to be
written in javascript. that way we can update it along with any type
changes (ie add a distributor type, and alter the js to allow
distributor to also export), or even add new logic, like you can only
export after midnight, and only if your consumer type fell in the pool.

So, you would prefer
if type in ["Candelpin", "SAM", "Foo", "Bar"]
