If we want to distribute the spins/deployment mechanism a bit and if we
want to make a distinction b/t respins and the official fedora spins
then maybe we could do:

spins.fedoraproject.org - it's own torrent tracker with an arse-load of
disk space.

Then we have a respin-admin group which can login to this machine and:
  1. make a spin with livecd/pungi based on a submitted config
  2. push them up to the spins tracker

Then we delegate the responsibility some and we also don't end up
drowning the official releases in other stuff.

in short new user experience is:

Looking for fedora: main site-> torrent.fedoraproject.org

Slightly more experienced new user:
 Looking for a specific fedora spin (once they understand what a spin
is) -> spins.fedoraproject.org
