Nice!

Sounds like a good idea to me and should help CentOS get fixed and
ready for mainstream a lot quicker.

(Assuming those who complain about late releases actually help out
instead of just complaining like children.)

I'll be taking a look at C7-Test when I get a bit of time (I'm on a
tight schedule) if I find any problems I'll let you know :-).

Any idea if pre-built nightly/test ISO files will be available also?
