So at FUDCon this weekend, I met John Hawley (wharthog9) who is the person who configured and set up boot.kernel.org. I think it's absolutely fabulous and it looks like the Fedora Infrastructure team is interested in looking further into its features. I have not set it up or tried to install from it, but it's definitely an awesome project.
