I don't think it's practical, it'd be a big overhead. The ability to
just push to git and then respin is a big help, I just wish we were more
careful with doing it during freezes, but overall it's still better than
having to rebuild the spin-kickstarts package every time you want to
change _anything_. Getting the desktop spin under 1GB would've been a
PITA, for instance...
