Yup, that's why I wanted to raise KB attention on this proposal, as I
hope that we could leverage
a) the new RDO-based cloud for CentOS cloud images testing
b) Software Factory in CentOS as project gating and automation for
SIGs as it could be a real multiplier.

Exactly, bits of infrastructure (build system, jenkins, repositories)
that already moved to CentOS will remain there.

If we follow that path, we'll look after integrating CentOS
infrastructure with Software Factory.
