Koji Build System Priority - RESF Risk Mitigation
Situation
Directed Nathan to prioritize Koji cluster standup with Dieter. Goal is to have independent build infrastructure in place so CIQ is not dependent on RESF. Asked for timeline if this became top priority, and indicated Dieter should reprioritize accordingly.
Reasoning
Related to ongoing RESF/Rocky Linux relationship tensions. The situation is coming to a head and CIQ needs to reduce infrastructure dependency on RESF. Having independent Koji build clusters means if CIQ needs to act (fork, separate, etc.), the build infrastructure is ready and the timeline becomes predictable (static 2 weeks from that point). This is pre-positioning for organizational optionality.
Additional Context
RESF relationship has been troubled. Past decisions involved advocating for Ryan Smiths seat at RESF strategy discussions. This technical decision is the infrastructure side of reducing RESF dependency risk.

Timeline if we pulled the trigger on making it a priority now? Regardless, Id have Dieter prioritize it over other things. This is going to come to a head rapidly from what I see.
