I agree with going with what we've currently got package-wise. But
saying "we should start building today" or "get Koji running...tomorrow"
is missing the point.

We're ready to go the moment we have finished these tasks:
- the gcc/glibc issues are resolved
- we've pruned the package sets back to the same core
- every change/patch in those package sets has been upstreamed
- the hub and builders have been successfully set up and tested with
patched koji/rpm/yum etc.

Work on all these pieces is proceeding in parallel (assuming that
someone's on the gcc/glibc piece (who?)). We're not blocking on any one
piece, but we have to finish these four before hitting 'Go'.
