The first part should probably read:
"Fedora Core and Fedora Extras must be merged into a single source
control system and use a single buildsystem, creating a new package set
that carries the already overloaded name Fedora."
Also, I would move the buildsystem parts from the "Ability to spin a
custom..." section to the "Merge Core and Extras" section. Spinning a
custom distro/LiveCD is done with already built packages and the
buildsys is really needed as part of the merge.
Pilgrim is now called "livecd-utils".
You can put my name next to yours as a guinea pig for the custom spin
stuff.
The LiveCDs are installable. I don't think we need a separate install
iso outside of those for Gnome and KDE.
