There have been a few talks about building containers and a few talks about building rpms, but very little discussion of how the other parts would be provided, e.g. display of test results or tracking of update status… I would guess that that functionality is actually much more complex then just building things. > The idea for 'Konflux' is to try and redesign the factory by first making > everything 'visible' and using the same backbone resources.

I would love to see presentations about Konflux at this level. Ideally, with a lot more details, incl. what parts are supposed to stay and what is intended to be rewritten from scratch.
