I think you will find that *nobody* is against this proposal. There is a general consensus that we need to build from a CDROM, that we need to make it rebuild as little as possible, and that we would like to have a cross-compilation environment if we can get one to make it easier to roll in support for other architectures. I think that everyone is so vehemently for something like this that we all have rather stong opinions on "the right way to do it" (as evidenced by the recent "install" 'hoo-raw'). So it's more like "proposal is obvious; what have you got to demo?". The most formal any architectural committee gets is the comittee of two on the VM system -- they have the rest of us beat hands down. 8-).
