If you already have a system running that way how about if you put together a document how to do this and let other people or even Fedora QA test it out and run it through their testsuits? That way we'd have a lot more eyes on it, could spot issues with it much faster and could get the whole idea a solid ground before it's widely introduced to Fedora and everything would already have been prepared for it, avoiding exactly those possibly missed oddball or exotic scenarios. Just my $0.02 after seeing you eating your own dogfood first (eeeewwww, grosss! ;))).
