I messed up here I missed "Requires hosting a binary image on 
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/" from what I remembered it was providing tools 
to create appliances.  not us actually providing appliance images.  since 
appliances are specialised configured things its really hard to provide a 
single appliance.   I personally have no issue with hosting appliance 
kickstart files.  but i think we need to review hosting a binary appliance 
image
