There may be a couple of options. But a bit of context first:
ci.centos.org as a service is meant to be relatively self-contained,
it's difficult (and unlikely from a management perspective) to connect
out to jenkins agents running outside of our control. One way may be to
check out some duffy nodes and build there either on VMs, or otherwise
depending on what the toolchain needs. This may get easier as we build
out the cico cloud.

Would these packages be used as test artifacts, or where would these
packages eventually end up? We want to focus on supporting folks
validating on/by/for CentOS (but I realize that sometimes consolidation
across distros is helpful).
