one thing that always helps, and can be done totally out of band - with
results that directly impact what is coming through is : write tests.

A good place to start is : http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/AutomatedTests

And remember, you can write them in bash too ( which is what most of
them are in right now ).

Pick an area of the distro you care about the most, write a few tests
around individual rpms to check that they work, and have the right sort
of functionality. then move onto doing more 'role' level stuff.
