thats a very interesting idea.

At the base layers, a build is really just converting sources into
binary. or collecting binary bits and making an ISO or a Live Media or a
Cloud image or a Container etc; but the actual convertion side of things
is all finite.

So with that in mind, the big difference in OpenBuildService and Koji is
that Koji perhaps has a more focused approach to letting teams
contribute, in their own pace and space, towards ( one or more ) product
/ goals. Whereas Openbuildservice just churns sources to binaries in an
environment for user facing ( and much smaller ) task sets.

A merge then might be a case of openbuildservice using koji at the
backend and retaining its web UI ?
