Thanks for stating the goals - I will document them as part of this project. I had not considered them explicitly like that, but at the same time I'm intentionally trying avoid large changes to the system. I don't feel like any of them have been lost in the proposal. After re-reading Scott's mail I added a couple of points here, which I missed the first time: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:DanielDrake/NewMockProposal#Disadvantages_of_new_system I also made the addition of offering rsync:// to the koji. repos.
