Sounds like mirrors could/should take RCs then? Push them out and

Feeding the bits out isn't usually the problem, it is getting the bits
synced. There's no way mirrors could get daily (or probably even
weekly) builds synced in a useful time. For 11-Preview, the size of
just the ISOs is 36.5G; if you exclude source and Live images, it is
still 25.3G.
I think this would be a valuable improvement, though, if you could feed changes
through some mechanism and then do the image build on the mirror server, you
would save everyone a ton of effort and bandwidth, and the CPU time is minimal
to do the image build.
Using a bittorrent approach can't actually be too hard to do if you wanted to do
it, I bet most mirror sites could nfs export storage to save the bytes, so you
just need any small system running Fedora and a few scripts to pull the images
down and seed them. Note: I said "not too hard" rather than trivial, because
error correction is needed. I still think a jigdo style delta+build solution is
best, if overall bandwidth is to be saved.
