The idea is fine, and should be taken seriously. IMV the main topic for 
discussion is "how often."

The resources are available, there are people making unofficial respins. 
I think "management" needs to take a good hard look at how to make those 
unofficial builds official.

It doesn't make sense to me to report a problem unless my software 
(especially in Fedora, OpenSUSE etc) is fully up to date.

A respin done on the first of the month (unless circumstances such as 
brokenware mandate otherwise), published and provisional for a week then 
made official (unless circumstances mandate otherwise).

On first thought the major risk here is that a broken Anaconda gets in 
and makes the result uninstallable. That sort of thing has happened in 
the past, it _could_ happen in Fedora.

A good alternative might be a weekly updates ISO, that contains just the 
latest versions of everything not in the base release, and formatted as 
a repo. Then, instead of downloading six CD images I'd have downloaded 
seven.

The updates image would be a good candidate for updating with jigdo too, 
basically all users need to do keep their ISO set current would be to 
run jigdo to get its latest .jigdo file and template, and the new packages.

Anaconda might need training to look for the updates CD or ISO image. 
That doesn't seem a big deal, I notice it can find install ISOs pretty 
well regardless of their filenames. Which reminds me, I have a CentOS to 
install.
