I agree with KB, this is great. We had kicked around the idea of this
for something to investigate once 7 was out the door and the frenzy
around a new major release had died down a bit. That you've gone and
started it already is fantastic.

I'm certainly very interested in this, as it would help make things
simpler and more consistent across the various communities.

We have a number of users who contribute or build for both fedora and
centos. Giving them a common tool keeps the complexity down. Good work
and please continue!
