In a perfect world I would have liked to have automatic, nightly media
builds - or medias built automatically whenever the distribution is in a
consistent state.

Another idea would be to keep a repository that's always consistent, and
a mechanism for identifying sets of packages that can be copied from the
development repo to the consistent repo without breaking dependency
consistency.

I don't think this is impossible - there are other distributions out
there that publish nightly media builds. Maybe there's something we can
learn from those.
