An infinity of potentially 'worthwhile projects' exist ... but 
CentOS is about being a strict rebuild, with trademark and 
branding fixups.  To the extent THIS project starts getting 
into the back porting, we have people start to relying on such 
'out of scope' efforts .... and then we 'draw fire' for not 
meeting someone's need or expectations beyond being a strict 
rebuild.

I don't see that we at CentOS should be doing that
