What is the long time goal?
Have one hydra building the world - asking users to share costs [1]?
(Maybe put it on an Amazon cloud and wait for the world to join?)

We all know that NixOS/nixpgks is one of the best (if not the best) way
to distribute packages today. Still I'd like to see some statements
about its future and goals.

Ask companies to setup their own Hydras if their nixpkgs start deviating
too much from SVN trunk?

[1] maybe its possible to calculate build and "hosting" resources for
users and share them by users.
