That's all great but it boils down to what I said: we can't do it now,
where "we" is Sugar Labs and "it" is: create better distro than
Fedora-ish and service that distro with distro-vendor-quality support
and infrastructure.

So I propose we come up with some way to do it (ibid.)  to propose to
SLOB or we get real should say we're not going to do it (for now).
Either is better than the status quo of not doing it and pretend that
we are

If China wanted a Sugar distro there'd be 10,000 CDs in a Sham Sui Po
warehouse before you could say "no idea how they did it without a
link".
