Initially, I would say that the efforts will be around Core.  But it's 
definitely within the scope of the job, as Will settles into it, to figure 
out the best way to interact with stuff like Extras, Legacy, etc.

Will's gonna have to benchmark the current situation of testing as it 
relates to the entire Fedora Project, and to put together a plan of where 
his energy can produce the biggest gain.  My *guess* is that it's likely 
to focus on Core, but ultimately it's for him to figure out as the first 
part of his job.
