The opposite of objections, at least from me... This is something that I've wanted to do for a long time (but I never seem to get the time for it). Once again, I'm fighting against not only building X-related stuff, but also preventing it from leaking into my image... I think making it a distro feature is the best option, and once we get this into oe-core, I think we could extend this to some more parts.
