+Perhaps I was naive in thinking that compiling the distro could be
+done with distcc or even a simple queuing system that distributes
+SRPMs to nodes in the community swarm.  As each node returns its
+completed binary package, the queuing system could send it another
+SRPM to build.
+
+It would be cool if it could be done that way.  Why pay for data
+center space, hardware, electricity and big bandwidth when you could
+have a community-provided "cloud" for free? :o)
