since you asked for the "future state"

no:

the way we're going to di it is allow for "multi-site" makes under the user
tree.

so you'll have:

user/default/stuff (the binarycloud distro files)
user/my_site/stuff
user/my_other_site/stuff

that's in the TODO: multi-dite makes.

And you hit the nail on the head: we had a big discussion about this a while
ago, and we all agreed: multiple make targets.
