I think this would be a valuable improvement, though, if you could
feed
changes through some mechanism and then do the image build on the mirror
server, you would save everyone a ton of effort and bandwidth, and the CPU
time is minimal to do the image build.
Building an image isn't free in terms of CPU, RAM, or I/O. Also, IIRC
you can only build an image on the same arch as the target (e.g. my i686
server can only build ix86 targets, not x86_64 or PPC).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
