Here here, total agreement from me.

I'll agree that the automated testing can wait, but I'll disagree on COPR.
COPR is enabled by using "dnf enable SugarLabs/sugar-0.107"(doesn't exist
yet) as the equivalent in the Debian world to "deb [trusted=yes]
http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us trusty main" but without having to host the
buildsystem.

Think we have the same goal, just trying to reduce the hoops for newer
developers and for easier public testing before release.
