Hmm.  That seems like a really big change to be making from mainline in a
spin.  I think a good goal for spin changes is to think hard about putting
in changes that we do want to go down into the OS in general.  For example
one thing I heard people mentioning about the desktop spin is system
activation; it doesn't seem to me there's a reason that couldn't be
prototyped in the context of Fedora in general.  I can't claim I understand
exactly how yum/pirut/packagekit etc. interact but I feel like it's that
level of OS change where things have to be coordinated.

It feels to me that for the desktop spin we can focus on the original
subject here of "low hanging fruit" and get a lot out of that.
