one of the key considerations is artifact collection and export : when a
ci run completes, some projects will have rpms or binaries etc ( the
artifacts ), that they might want to retain or have available publicly.
Our present setup model ( ref: http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/PubHardware
) does not cater for this.

Anyone have thoughts / comments around what this process might look like ?
