To prepare universal seed, we'd need a manifest which pulls in all kernels. That intersects with something Android team had in (maybe distant) plans - common manifests, from which any of currently supported boards can be built (to avoid patching multiple manifests with similar changes, etc.). I can't see such manifest currently though, no BPs. Pending discussion with Zach.
[pfalcon 2011-12-17] Universal seed, aka uniseed, which includes all the repositories we use in our builds, turned out to be 9Gb (3x the previous panda-based seed). We still have better average repo checkout with it (~8min vs ~10min), and of course much better external network utilization and server load.

Headline:
Seeded builds set up to work in production mode now.
Acceptance:
The universal seed covering most of builds we do is prepared, and automatically updated.
