Excellent point.  Somebody could do custom spin in Fedora-land with 
revisor, or... heck, I can't remember the name of the other project that 
lets you make recipes for spins and can't find it at the moment, but 
anyway you can make a bootable USB stick.

And if somebody were to write a script to detect exercise the most 
common parts on a machine, there could be some utility there.
