Rsyncing what sort of files?  RPM repos?

The pulpdist docs do answer my question:  pulpdist is used to 'manage 
arbitrary directory trees', so really any content.  From what I can 
tell, the same code to sync repos around could also sync video files 
around, and I could write a plugin analogous to my 'repoview' plugin to 
generate video thumbnails.  One more plugin could tell a local database 
to start serving the now-locally-stored video from local content servers 
instead of remote ones.  (Don't worry, I'm not really talking about 
putting pulpdist into anyone's production site.  Yet. ;)
