When I made this my goal was for someone to be able to build a cluster from scratch and run the full benchmark suite with only like 3-4 commands.  I specifically didn't use distaf to cut down on complexity, because the test tools were all already multinode capable, and I am already maintaining the rhs-system-init script I figured I would just reuse that for the setup.  That said I have been seeing more and more reasons to move things to distaf(FIO is not multi node capable, gather profiling data from each server, etc), and I was kicking around the idea of DISTAF-ifing it.  Let me fix everything to work with Centos/Fedora and get it into git.  From there we can look at distaf-ifing things, but I agree that is the way things should go.
