Well, we don't ask the mirrors to generate things, we generate things at the 
source and the mirrors just pick it up.  If the mirrors have to do something 
themselves, we've lost.

I really don't want to add this midstream to a released product.  The right 
process here is to get it working in rawhide during the open development 
cycle, start producing the content for it at the source, have it mirrored out 
and get more and more people beating on it during rawhide.  If it survives 
and makes it into the released product as a default, that's awesome, from 
that point on we use it.  Trying to start at a released product and port 
forward just seems backwards to me, and not something I want to expose all of 
our "stable" Fedora 6 users to.
