 Sanity Check the Tree
   This could/should be an ever growing set of post-tree build sanity checks.

+Making it all happen

+  second tool takes packages from said repos and makes the install and CD set.
+  Working on the second tool first makes sense, as it can be used today with
+  existing Core and Extras repos.  Later, tool #1 can grow from #2.
