Very interesting. Could you describe your environment in more detail?
In particular, are there be any common components that we could share?

I believe you'd get the support of several Sugar developers.

Whenever technically feasible, we've been looking for opportunities to
broaden the base for the underlying technologies so that we can focus
more on the distinctive aspects of the Sugar environment.

Piggy-backing on standard Linux distros with minimal customization
already gave its fruits. Switching to Metacity as a window manager also
helped.

Rainbow has been genericized and is already a stand-alone package in
Fedora and Ubuntu; I think it would be great if multiple projects
adopted it as part of their security model.
