Since releng is using koji, this isn't that important. One can check the 
nightlies to make sure things are working. I was worried that looking 
at the nightlies might not show problems occuring in releng's build 
process.

Suprisingly I am not that big of a fan of having lots of prebuilt live images. 
I think building them when you want them is better, since you start with 
up to date packages. Having the recipies (whether ks files or this new ansible 
proposal) seems better. With us dropping the CD size limit, we might be 
able to post a single DVD sized live image that allows people to try out 
all of the desktops.
