I will have 2 things done for today :
1) a guide to what debranding and rebranding implies, along with a broad
set of goals to follow

2) a process to whitelist / blacklist; and must-have, good-to-have,
nice-to-have, to-have-or-not-to-have list.

We can then co-ordinate the effort off a github repo, we can consider
content accepted from github.com to git.centos.org as being the signoff
( we can have acl's that allow a larger group to facilitate this )

regards
