I've got one tiny request and a slightly unrelated question. First,
could we add rsync to the minimal install cd images? I tend to find
myself booting to a cd and then copying over an rsync binary.

Second, I saw on the release meeting agenda there was an item about
doing automated internal builds. I missed the meeting and I haven't
seen anyone post a log yet so I don't know what was discussed. I
currently do automated weekly stage{1,2,3} builds for use at the OSL
for x86/amd64 and could easily add ppc64. Would people find it useful
if I started posting those publicly in some semi-official manner?
