Martin Dengler has been incredibly pushing an effort to make SoaS run on 
the XO. In fact, for some time now, the "normal" SoaS builds and the 
SoaS-XO builds are using the same code-base. The plan was and is to 
build and announce these snapshots jointly in the very near future. 
Setting up a cron job to have builds should probably be not too hard...

There has even been a feature proposal for that in Launchpad: 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/soas/+spec/joint-soas-release

Will this SIG's work be incorporated in the SoaS-XO files (I can't even 
speak of GIT branches anymore, because it's all in mainline now, which 
is just awesome!) or will it create another solution?
