Initial Goals

Automated ("mass") install within a larger Linux infrastructure (e.g. PXE is an option, may have LDAP/IPA)
Manual install without a supporting infrastructure (e.g. the very first Linux server)
Guided role installation (eg. Server Roles should be installable by a junior administrator with little difficulty)
Where possible, existing servers and installed roles should be upgradable to new releases with minimal involvement by the admin
Producing an upgrade compatibilty matrix at least for the roles we say we feature.
Roles should be installable at install time (e.g. in Anaconda) and post-install.

Deferred Goals

Replication of an existing server (Based on discussion, not sure this is needed... deferred for later)
- etckeeper and augeas was noted here
- question about how to track installs like gem installs
Compatibility with deployment systems (e.g., install server roles via central admin console like Satellite Server / Spacewalk)
Offline installs of roles (ie provide tools so products can just run an infrastructure helper that spits out an ISO)
