Neil,
Thanks for bringing this up. It looks like this could be of some value
to deployments and something they could easily add should they choose
to customize their build image. Keep up the good work and let us know
how development is going.
Regards,
Reuben

Since .XO and .XOL bundles were specifically designed to be "safe"

Fedora has to provide.
Perhaps this is something for Zeroinstall http://0install.net/ .
ZeroInstall allows for installation of software as a user so you can
do
things without making system level changes.
I'm working on a setup for the XO that can give you a custom
environment. The entire thing goes into $HOME. I uses Zeroinstall to
grab everything as needed, even the window manager. In practice the
bundle comes with the window manager but that is merely as a pre-
filled
zeroinstall cache entry.
Because everything is done at the user level, it is very hard to break
things, but it still allows users to have a great deal of flexibility
with their system.
