Looks like a great lot of work, so thanks for the effort. As a Fedora Testor I am puzzled somewhat though. Is there available reading material and such as how I would go about using these rpm with a qemu/kvm for testing without having the installer available yet? Obviously I can test the install media when it exists just like I do for Fedora, but using these trees of rpms is a new skill I am hoping to add. Don't want to bog anyone down with explaining it in detail, as I don't mind reading and teaching myself, just need pointed where to look.
we also spend quite a bit of time looking at and working with the rpms themselves to make sure they built ok, carry the right metadata, and then work on the branding stuff - ideally that, and migration paths from 6 to 7 are what we'd be expecting people to be consuming and testing here.

KB - you mention migration paths from 6 to 7 and branding stuff. Are you envisioning a test like taking an up to date c6 installation and the yum installing c7 rpms and looking for hiccups and issues? I'm not quite sure I understand what is meant by migration when as yet there is no C7 installer or install tree.
