Building rawhide as ISOs would a) complicate the build process b)
make it more of a hassle to grab a single fix.
I was thinking of it in addition to, not in place of, the existing tree
Adding ISOs in *addition* to the files would lead to a rather
dramatic
increase in disk space required.
At least right now, it looks like 2 gigs for SRPMs, and 2 gigs for each
architecture. I'm not sure there'd be much demand for more than i386....
