Absolutely not. In fact it lets us move to something different even
faster if we want to, as we don't have to worry about replicating all
that %magic% somewhere else. Keeping things simple allows for easier
change.
1) Encourage people to work within the Fedora context as much as
possible,
and thus gain the advantage as we improve our tools
2) For those that can't (e.g. you're a company with modifications to
kernel/whatever you want to keep secret), we make it easy to bootstrap a
koji instance and the rest of our tools inside your firewall
I don't think keeping things simple and keeping the %magic% away hurts
this ideal.
