I was particularly intrigued by

"* need live CD for conferences, media, etc.- imagine being able to send
CDs of 2.7.9 to eWeek, etc."

in the TODO list.

I have some experience with building Live CDs - and I was wondering 
if we can hook up the GNOME tinderbox
(http://gnome-build.ximian.com/tinderbox/LATEST/) with a (semi)automated
Live CD build system ??

The basic idea is to get the build system do the install in some system
wide accessible directory (maybe /opt/gnome<version>??), and if the
entire process is successful, copy that entire directory into a live cd
file system (shell script), and then build the live cd (scriptifiable). 

It's just a crazy idea of mine - comments, flames, brickbats are
welcome.
