The original purpose of this thread was to discuss torrent seeds for

You are right that this thread should be about one and only one topic --
S3 as an option for seeding the images.
So let's definitely separate that out and start by putting together a
plan that is limited in scope *only* to what it would take to use S3 as
a bittorrent seeder.
From what I've seen, this is stupidly easy, to the point where from the
Fedora perspective, I'd think the only arguments would be about using a
non-FOSS web service for an infrastructure project and estimating the
cost, rather than the technical issues, which are pretty close to
negligible.
