I don't think so. Sorcerer sounds very much like FreeBSD's "make world", which 
of course in Linux, is radical and awesome (or is it?). This is one of those 
things I'll be playing around with this summer (I hope), together with more 
Python, wxPython, and real world work, of course. ;>

That nightly magic of auto-downloading updates and rebuilding them sounds 
really neat. There's no telling: this might even prove to be awesome on servers 
where someone prefers Linux over FreeBSD for some reason or another. Remains to 
be seen, of course.

Of course everyone can be sure I'll be ranting and/or raving when I finally 
give Sorcerer a shot. I invite those willing and capable to check it out. It's 
a small (<100MB) ISO download, and then after that you just get deltas and 
supposedly it can be automated. A cable or DSL connection should be enough 
(maybe I should get DSL for the house? Hehehe). The community will be waiting 
for local reviews. And maybe if we have more reviews we can set up a local 
community weblog system for such stuff, right? ;>
