There's work in cauldron on automating the ISO generation process, so
eventually this could become a reality. Don't expect it to happen very
soon though, as it will take some time before a first working version
comes out, and then there will be debugging, maintenance, and
improvements to do. The groundwork has already been laid down though.
This is probably possible within a year. If we get more devs for
cauldron it will happen sooner, but that's a mighty big "if" ;-).
