We would keep CBS for final, production builds.
I'd like to imagine SF as an additional service provided in the CentOS
community for all projects to use, not just RDO/Cloud SIG!
Value add AFAICT is that it combines tools in one nice UI and enables
automated workflows e.g. I would like to see bot proposing gerrit
changes to bump versions in spec Requires: when upstream
global-requirements are changed.
I'm discovering what SF can do myself, but it looks promising.

Cheers,
