I really meant for this to start at the top level and replace the 
concept of spins.  Of course it could cascade down to pull custom 
configurations for each package where it makes sense too.

Ideally there would be a way for anyone to publish a customized setup 
that others could duplicate automatically.  I've always thought that a 
few hundred choices could cover almost all of the ways that anyone would 
need.  But, I'm not sure that hardware configuration choices are 
sufficiently separated from functional preferences to completely 
automate this.
