I can not speak to all the questions, but I know that Josh Broyler was 
there during the meeting but to be fair we did not discuss that it was a 
different type of spin. We would be happy to provide the documentaion 
around how to use it. The tooling which would be used (based on 
livecd-tools) went through a round of testing the last fedora test day.

I will plan on being online for the FESCO meeting to discuss as necessary.
