I think that's basically what everyone was saying earlier. Take one system, and use the RPMs in its YUM cache. It's straight-forward and easy to do.

Please quantify easy. Will you do it for me every time it needs to be done? Today I'd have a use for at least 6 variations, although I guess you'd double that with the suggested overlap of testing/staging instances. With a little thought about the process, yum updates could be made to be repeatable without extra work, network traffic or any other overhead. I just don't see why this is not considered desirable.
