Let me surface a conversation happening elsewhere here, for people interested in building a distibution
I've mentioned my toy s390x builder privately to a few people, and have some external private testers; additionally I think I mentioned it on the Marist Linux/IBM list and perhaps here publicly. Someone noticed because I picked up a 'follower' on my twitter progress tool
