Author: @bmbouter (bmbouter)

Redmine Issue: 4845, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/4845


Problem.

It's not clear which methods of the pulpcore.plugin.content.Handler object should be customized versus use as is. Here are some questions I'm interested in:

Are they all safe to customize?
Do some methods depend on other methods in ways that customization may cause breakages?
Are these methods the right way to position this Handler?
