Hi

Important changes for spins include using the Koji build system to build
the images and LZMA compression to save more space,

""We wouldn't go through the effort of building the spins if we didn't
think they were useful for both building our community and to give
people a creative outlet to do what is best for them," Smith said. "It's
really hard to make a one size fits all operating system, so we found
that the spin process allows people to be more focused on what part of
the operating system they want."
