I remember when snakebite was announced someone had the idea to

anyone working on this?
The biggest problem I see is security, but if people are really
interested in this we could at least try it no?
Automatic testing in many python versions, conversion using 2to3 and
building packages for windows and macosx seems like a very
interesting
service.
I'm currently working on an automated build system with similar goals:

What I proposed was a autobuild for pytho packages on pypi not cpython
builds. The system could certanly use your tool as a way to have many
python versions, but in the end I think people would want packages
built by cpython binaries distributed at python.org and third party
distros (like ubuntu, mac os x, macports, etc).
