What's needed other than a set of output rpms and isos?  From what I
remember of the meeting we had a few months ago we expected secondary
arch builds to happen on contributed machines, but wanted to host final
bits.  That should be our target, right?

i.e. are there other things that we need to have in place for adding
capacity down the road?  And what capacity is it?  We need a little
brainstorming.
