I don't think OBS does anything Koji doesn't, so far as this is
concerned. OBS' major 'feature' over Koji is that it can be used for
non-SUSE distros, but that's not relevant to the idea of doing a rolling
release of Fedora. It'd still be Fedora.

As others have pointed out, saying 'we have an awesome buildsystem so
making a rolling release is a breeze!' seems to be somewhat missing the
point. Producing a rolling release is about more than just firing off
builds into a repository, if you want to do it right.
