I should investigate Conary further. My understanding though is that it's a much larger change than what we're discussing (e.g. you can't use existing .spec files), and while it has some similar goals in some areas, it isn't exactly the same thing. In particular, it focused on maintaining a delta from OS-distributed binary RPMs and high-level binary RPM management, whereas we're more discussing simply improving the development process for SRPMs. Still though, it seems pretty interesting.
