I'm currently working on a proposal which might help solve this which I 
have open with the board in the trac system.

I'm seeking two things from the board in that regard before I finish the 
proposal ( or make it more concrete so to speak ) and presenting that to 
the community and or open it with fesco/releng/qa for further discussion 
and feedback.

1. Rough feedback to the rough proposal as it is in the relevant ticket 
(question thoughts comments ).
2. The board to reach within the walls of Red Hat to see if there is any 
will from Red Hat to participation/cooperation in the proposal and if so 
to what extent Red Hat is willing to participate and what they would 
seek from such cooperation ( It would be illogical for Red Hat not to be 
willing to participate in it from my pov ).

The content of the proposal is not depended on Red Hat 
participation/cooperation in it however the outcome of that decision is 
a decisive factor on how I continue to proceed with writing of that 
proposal since lack of their involvement might mean a bit more work for 
us to do and how we do it.
