And you can use the previous packages to start from.

There are 2 reasons why I'm not building them all the time:
- lack of time (If you work the 110 hours/week shift, you don't have
  a lot of spare time)
- lack of access to boxes running older releases.

Stuff I build on my machines wouldn't help - my workstation is always 
running current stuff, my machine at home is running something completely 
different.

I can't use the official build system because it mustn't be used for 
anything other than packages that will be officially released by RH 
(upcoming release or errata).

I think you're confusing EUR with DEM here. ;)

750 a month will do - then I can quit my job and do everything KDE. ;)
Not sure I'd keep boxes running stock RH to build binary packages on, 
though. ;)
