I believe it has some promise, but such automation would only ease the
handling of release cycles. Integration testing cannot be automated away.

Your proposal reminds me a lot of the "package pools" proposed a while ago.
Unfortunately, I didn't follow the thread about it closely. I believe
someone is workingon implementing package pools; that's probably the area
where you can contribute most directly (especially since the package pool
idea can be tested out (say with gnome or KDE) without directly having to
replace the current release process.
