Second, I am setting up another AMD64 system to use for builds, etc for

let me know where the SRPM is and I will build and QA against AMD64 to
ensure the platform is well supported with not just core but extras.
May I recommend trying to get vserver kernel patch working on the AMD64
kernel, that way you can securely give root access to other developers,
and each would have their own independent chroot where they can use yum
to add/remove packages... a very necessary part in the process of
developing packages. Apache can be running in another vserver instance
locally to act as a local yum source.
Give the developer vservers a different IP address and use iptables to
lockdown network access, so nothing can get out except packets belonging
to their incoming SSH connection. (Prevent any chance of abuse.)
