Even though this is a longer-term issue too, this is a good point: that Fedora infrastructure doesn't come from thin air -- it all costs money and people-time (some paid, some volunteer) to deploy and maintain. Depending on the taskings and the number of clients, this can be a pretty demanding load. As part of the long-term SIG vision it would also be appropriate to think about where to get funding/equipment/storage to support the eventual roll-out, pursuant to the goals you hope to achieve at that time. -- Paul W.
