I don't see how that can scale to the number of packages in Fedora. It is going to be a combinatorics nightmare especially when a ton of people don't work together and all have their own idea of the RIGHT way to branch, land and build their own packages. It might work for a scaled down OS-tree size distro.. but at 12000 packages.. and things like "well you pushed this into X and now A..Z packages need to be rebuilt against it." -- Stephen J Smoogen.
