I want to get to a world where the buildsys and repo storage bits are 
hosted with Red Hat only for convenience and reliability.  Not control. 
  That's part of this process.  Push all the packages outside of the 
firewall, get the buildsystems out there, let people contribute buildsys 
"bandwith", give lesser arches their own way forward, etc.  It's all 
down that path to moving RH to a 1st tier contributor, nothing more.

However, I will note that "pulling something off the wire" is often done 
for sound legal reasons, not for biz reasons.  Everyone involved in this 
discussion should be clearly delineating between the two.
