Jesse, Jeroen was saying specifically that seeding would be the
responsibility of the maintainers of the spin & NOT the projects - only
the torrent would be needed for the tracker to host the spin, then.  He
was saying that FP still could revoke the spin by not tracking the
torrent, which would pull it out of official circulation.
