Discussing how to help efficiently build and release new versions of
Aurora is one thing.  Discussing how to rebuild RHEL AS while cleverly
applying s/RHEL AS/Aurora/g in your mind is an entirely different thing,
and is quite off topic for this list.  Also, Red Hat, officially or not,
has granted quite a bit of resources to the Aurora project, and we
wouldn't want to abuse those good graces.

As for the first of those two things, I'd like to see what facilities the
Red Hat Linux Project (or whatever the name is ;) brings about for the use
of people doing ports of RHL to other architectures.
